TS3276 Mail set up for Pop accounts

Hello,
I just purchased my first MacBook Air and am trying to set my POP email account up in Mail. I can recieve email just fine, but am not able to send email at all. I have triple checked my entries and they match what I am using on both my PC and my iPhone 5 - which I can send email from both of these.
I am using OS X 10.9.1 - any suggestions?

Hmmm. All I can say is check for a fourth time.
POP account as you describe, but IMAP is the more common for synching accounts between machines.
Try deleting that mail account on the Mac and renenter all your info as new if you have to.

In Mail set preferences for which account used to send email

When I click on a webpage link to send an email to somebody, Mail brings up a new email with that address on it -- but invariably it assigns it to an email address that I rarely use. Same for forwarding incoming email. I see no way to edit that From list to have a different account come first. This does not happen when I click new message from the Mail program itself. Is there a way to edit that list?

By default, Mail will always sent new messages from the account that is currently "selected" (ie, you have selected one of that account's mailboxes). However, you can easily change this in Mail's preferences. Choose Mail -> Preferences, then select the Composing tab, then change the pop-up menu next to "Send new messages from" to the desired account.

Use mail app for POP account only?

This may be a stupid question, but my .mac trial has recently expired, and I do not wish to pay for an entire .mac account because I only enjoy using the e-mail portion of it. I have set up my gmail account so that the e-mail gets forwarded to my mail, but is there any way to send e-mails from my mail application using my POP account now that my .mac is expired?

I'm not sure I understand you rquestions - It sounds like you want to discontinue your .Mac account but continue to use your .Mac email - I do not believe that that is an option
If you are switching to gmail (or for that matter adding gmail) you can set up Apple Mail to handle your gmail account either as a POP account ( http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13275&topic=12810 ) or an IMAP account ( http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=81379&topic=1281 ) - gmail help has instructions for this set up and many others as well - a great place to look

Most current Mac systems have a preloaded set of information and settings for the common email providers. Try just choosing gmail and enter your userid and password at the prompts and see if the preload configures correctly for you.

Trying to set up two POP accounts - won't work

Hi there,
I am trying to set up a second Yahoo account on Mail. It shares the same incoming and outgoing server as my original account I use through Mail. But the user name is different. I can't log in with this new email address. It keeps throwing up the message:
'trying to log into the POP server "pop.mail.yahoo.com.au" has failed. Please make sure the username and password are correct. If you continue, you may not be able to receive any mail.'
This IS true, if I continue with the set up of this account, I'm not able to receive any incoming mail.
I have tried this countless times. I DEFINITELY have the right username and password for this second account.
Is it not possible to set up another POP account with a different user name but the same server name?

What targeting the Mail.app preference file, do the following:
Quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist. Move the com.apple.mail.plist file to the Desktop.
Note: Moving the com.apple.mail.plist file out of the Preferences folder will require re-entering all email account information when re-launching Mail.
The only exception to this is if you have a .Mac account which will be recreated automatically and/or if you created an email account as part of the computer setup assistant when first turning on the computer when new.
Launch Mail and decline any prompt to import mailboxes. After re-entering all email account information, the Mail.app should rediscover the existing account named folders and mailbox files at Home > Library > Mail.
After confirming all mailboxes were successfully rediscovered, you can delete the copy of the Mail folder and old com.apple.mail.plist file from the Desktop.
Test if this resolves the problem.

TS3276 Mail keeps checking a pop server related to an account I deleted.

Dear Friends,
A few months ago I upgraded to Lion and all Mail accounts were moved to the new version of Mail.
A couple of weeks after I deletes the pop account related to my company web server. All the messages not moved to different folder were deleted and the pop server and SMTP server 10.1.11.100 disappeared from the server list.
I realized from the "Activity" window that Mail keeps checking it for new e-mail.
I deleted Mail's preference file without success. I searched with spotlight for an occurrence of "10.1.11.100" in files and system files without any result.
Is there any further step I can take to stop Mail from checking this server that doesn't exist anymore?
Many thanks in advance!
Regards,
lS.

Check the smtp outgoing server list and see if one still exists for that account. If so, delete it.

Trouble Deleting and re: Setting Up New Pop account on iPhone

Hi,
I have a new hosting provider so I need to re-set up my POP mail account on my iPhone. I first deleted the mailbox account on iPhone, then re-created it with the settings provided by my email provider. I know these settings are correct, because the whole process worked on my iMac mail.
The problem is that I can send mail from the newly set up mailbox, but I cannot receive mail. Both my incoming and outgoing mailservers are the same.
Could my problem be that both my previous and current mail providers have the same Server/Host names?
Could it be that I did not successfully deleting my old host's settings? I still see all my old mail on the iPhone from my previous provider.
My new host says it's an iPhone problem because I have entered the correct settings and mail to and from the new server is working on my iMac.
Thanks for any suggestions!

MAIL SET UP FOR COMCAST MAIL ON iPHONE

okay, i am totally new to this, so please excuse my lack of knowledge. i have comcast mail.
I click on Mail, click on other, which brings me to the set up screen. What is IMAP, POP, Exchange? I know my name, my address, and I imagine my description can be whatever i want to name it, right?
Outgoing Nail Server....
What do I put in on host name? (comcast.net) ? I know my user name and password,
What is outgoing mail server (SMTP)
Host name again.
Help!

There is no Windows or OS X version or format for the iPhone. You can activate an iPhone on a compatible Windows PC or Mac and then sync it with another computer - PC or Mac. Some sync their music and photos on a Mac and Address Book contacts and calendar events on a Windows PC.
Your Comcast account is a POP account.
Under Incoming Mail Server.
Host Name: mail.comcast.net
User Name: The portion of your Comcast email address in front of the @ sign only.
Password: Your password for this account which you should already know.
Under Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
Host Name: smtp.comcast.net:587 (separate 587 with a colon)
User Name: The portion of your Comcast email address in front of the @ sign only.
Password: Your password for the account - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.

Help setting up a POP account with my iPhone.

Hi--
I have a POP account. It works fine with Apple's Mail.app.
I would like to fetch mail from it also on my iPhone.
I know to tell both clients to leave on server for a few days; that's not my problem.
My problem is I can't get the iPhone to access the account at all.
On my iPhone,
Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendar->Accounts->Add Account...->Other,
I filled in fields corresponding those in
Mail->Preferences->Account->LABear2->Account Information
Assuming the following field names were equivalent:
on iPhone in Mail
Name Full Name
Address Email Address
Password

All mail accounts can be synced through iTunes. It syncs setting but not messages, so if it's on your Mac mail app, you should be able to mirror it on your phone. Check in itunes>info>mail accounts>sync selected mail accounts. Also on the phone settings>fetch new data>advanced, check that the account is set to fetch.
