Trying to setup mail account

I am trying to setup my email account in the mail program. I have my mobile me email working in there properly, but my charter email is not getting setup correctly. Everytime I go to set it up, I get a message stating that "Mail cannot send my password securely to the server", and asks to continue or setup manually. I've tried both ways several times, and it never works. I've even contacted my ISP, and they walked me through the whole setup, and say its a problem with my computer settings. I know my password is correct, and have even reset it to be sure. I can get into my email account just fine on the online webpage and on my iPhone.
I'm guessing there is a security setting somewhere i'm not aware of.... Please help..

Can't setup MAIL account on iMac no IMAP server

Can't setup MAIL account on iMac no IMAP server. Says I have wrong SMTP server. I"m using a iMac version 10.9.4. MavericksHere is an example for you. I'm trying to set up Time Warner Cable mail account. I have Gmail, iCLoud and Yahoo mail. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try setting it up with these servers: https://www.timewarnercable.com/en/residential-home/support/faqs/faqs-internet/e -mailacco/incoming-outgoing-server-addresses.html
You can edit the SMTP server by choosing Edit SMTP server list from the popup menu (Outgoing Mail server).

Then you'll have to use another iOS device or Mac running OS X Lion or higher to create a new account for you to use on your phone. If you don't have one, perhaps a friend would allow you to create and account on their device (note: this will use one of their three maximum accounts). To do this, they would need to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which will delete the account from their device but not from iCloud), then allow you to sign back in with your ID to create the new account. Then tap Delete Account to delete the new account from their device, and finally, sign back in with their iCloud ID to restore their iCloud account to their device. Then you can sign in with your ID on your phone in Settings>iCloud and use the new account.

This helps the storage and purpose of email as well. I could always log into online email account to find history of emails.

E75 setup mail account without wizard

I tried to setup a mail account with E75 to access our IMAP. However, it insists on running the setup wizard, which always terminate with"unable to setup account, try again". The problem seems to be, that the wizard does not ask for some specific data (authenticated smtp, over ssl, for example) which is needed to connect to our server. I know it is possible to setup, as I have done it on an other e75. If there is already an account, it is possible to add new account by directly entering connection parameters. However, for the first account the wizard is needed. I know it would be possible to setup a gmail account for start, but my question is: am I missing something, and can do the setup without the brain-dead wizard, or is it some kind of a conspiracy on Nokia's side to insist on gathering users for nokia messaging.
By the way, this and the ovi maps situation highly indicates me, that my next phone will definitely not be from Nokia.

I had things set up that way and it worked fine. However, last week on my iPhone, my bellsouth.com account kept coming up with "the POP server is not responding," but the account worked on my Macs and my iPad. I deleted the account and added it again. Now it seems to be an IMAP account (the POP server still does not respond). When I access the "advanced" tap in the setings, when I click "Deleted Mailbox" under "Mailbox Behaviors" it appears to show an option to leave mail in the server inbox but the word "Inbox" is in grey and not clickable. Has ATT changed its servers?

Cannot setup mail account in Outlook 2007

I cannot setup my @me.com mail account on outlook. I have tried the various settings, including imap.mail.me.com variations, changing the ports, etc. Once I have setup my account, I am continuously asked by Outlook for my username and password. When I try to click on the @me.com folder, outlook crashes. Strangely, iCloud seems to be able to sync my contacts without this mail account setup (!?), so I do have the iCloud folder.
Any help would be appreciated, as I am trying to sync my Vista laptop, iPad1, and IPhone3GS.

"gpcom.net" doesn't sound like the name of a mail server. Those often have names like "pop.gpcom.net" or "smtp.gpcom.net". What server names do the instructions of your mail service tell you to use? Are you trying to use a POP3 or IMAP service?
no login required
That's uncommon, at least for reading of e-mail.

Trying to setup facebook account on new phone

I just had my Droid 2 delivered this morning (yeah!!), activated it and am now trying to setup my facebook account on my new phone. Every time I try and do so an error message pops up saying "Internal service error occurred. Pleas try again." Any ideas on what is going on because it's driving me up the wall. Thanks.

I would recommend testing the data connection first to ensure service is working properly. I have listed some steps below:
Step 1. Ensure you have 3G indicator (and when accessing data, both arrows highlight/flash white
Step 2. Ensure that the network settings are enabled. *Instructions below:
Enable Data – Select Menu > Select Settings > Select Data Manager > Select Data Delivery > Ensure all three are checked marked green (Background Data, Data Roaming, and Data Enabled). ***Please note*** Data roaming charges will only apply if you are outside of the United States.
Ensure Mobile Network is Automatic – Select Menu > Select Settings > Select Wireless & Networks > Select Mobile networks > Select System select > Check automatic
Ensure Wifi is off, and Airplane mode is off:
Wifi - Select Menu > Select Settings > Select Wireless & Networks > uncheck Wifi (if checked)
Airplane mode - Network is Automatic – Select Menu > Select Settings > Select Wireless & Networks > uncheck Airplane mode (if checked)
***Test the browser, to also ensure you are getting data connection.
Step 3. Perform a soft reset – Turn off the device and take the battery out of the back. Once removed, place the battery back into the device and power it back on.
Step 4. Try to create a new Facebook account, or login is you have an existing one.
Step 5. If the steps above do not work, I would recommend creating a Facebook account on the Facebook website (using your Mac/PC). Once created, try to log in as an existing user on the device.
Step 6. Final step: If all of the above did not work, try hard resetting the device. ***Please Note*** Performing a hard reset will remove ALL data including the Google account, system data, application data, application settings, and downloaded applications. Only perform this reset if absolutely necessary.
Performing a Hard reset article below:
http://search.vzw.com/?do=viewdoc&id=31308
Once the hard reset is complete, you will have to go through the initial setup information once again. When you complete the initial setup, test the data connection and try to create the Facebook account once again.
I hope this information helps!

Setup mail account for MSN hotmail account - HELP!!

How do i set up my msn hotmail account for use in mail??
Can anyone help with the ingoing/outgoing server?
Please and thankss!!!!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I merely know the tool capable of connection Hotmail to Mac OS X's Mail program:
httpmail
Hopefully that page will give you enough to get started. It is much easier to setup an IMAP, POP, or Exchange Mail account. If you can get one of those in place of Hotmail, and have your Hotmail mail automatically forwarded to such an account, you'd have a much easier time.

Trying to setup email account - getting "server connection failed"

I'm hoping someone out there can help me setup a POP account on my iphone. My host where the email account is based says it supports POP and/or IMAP, but I've tried to create a new account on the iphone with both methods and get the same message each time. The error says:
Server Connection Failed
The certificate for [email protected] may be invalid.
I just setup the same email account in my microsoft outlook and it works fine. Any thoughts???

Same problem here. We are running Exchange 2007 at my school and all I want is to get my mail sent to my iphone. I have no need to sync my iphone to my school computer.

Trying to sync Mail accounts

I just signed up for .mac membership with the hopes that I can synchronize my email messages on my Mac desktop and Mac laptop. Both systems have the same OS X 10.4.8 and are configured to use my work address which is a pop account with Mac mail.
When I did the sync on both computers, it did not synchronize my email messages. I gather that I need further instruction on this as it isn't as easy as I originally thought.
Can you one advise me? Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
This relates not to iSync, but to .Mac Sync, which is a different technology altogether. A forum for .Mac Sync users is located here:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
The underlying issue here involves your expectation that messages will be synchronized, and that's simply not the case. .Mac Sync synchronizes mail structures - not content.
In order to 'synchronize' mail messages, you must use IMAP rather than POP3 mailboxes. Mail is effectively synchronized because it is stored on the mail server your clients access, and not on the clients themselves. As each client accesses an account, it effectively looks through the IMAP 'window' at the contents of your mailbox on that server. Any action you take with regard to that account is reflected everywhere, because your action operates on server—not client—data.
Your .Mac account can easily be identified as an IMAP account, as can many others from such providers as AOL or Yahoo. Google's Gmail does not provide for an IMAP option.
To learn more about IMAP, you can browse this forum:

Cannot setup Mail account

I keep trying but it just never seems to work. Thunderbird will work fine. How can I be messing up something so simple as Mail?

10.6.5 update killed Exchange Mail account access

Directly after applying v10.6.5 (incremental update first, then combo update after this problem was discovered) update to my v10.6.4 Mac Mini, I completely lost connection of Exchange email in both Mail (v4.4) and Outlook 2011 (v14.0.1).
I tried making new mail accounts = no joy
I tried making a whole new user and new mail accounts for Outlook and Mail = no joy.
The irony is, the very first item mentioned in the 10.6.5 fixes list (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1325) is "Improves reliability with Microsoft Exchange servers"
I'm not updating any more machines until this gets figured out.
Help help help! I cant access work email! What did apple do to exchange access??

I have just applied 10.6.5 to my Macbook through software update. I loaded up all my email programs, and each one could connect and send mail. As well as, receive it.
I am using Mail 4.4, Entourage Web Services 13.0.4, and Outlook 2011 (I haven't run the update patch yet) connected to an Exchange 2010 box.
As stated above, it may be a 2007 pre SP1 issue possibly. As Exchange 2010 works fine for me.
Check with your various IT people with regards to what version you are running, and make sure it's up to date.
NB: No I don't work for Apple
