TS3276 mail settings lookup shows imap when i am using pop3

I am having problems with my mail settings, I use macbook pro OS X 10.9, I also have an ipad as does my wife. Recently I have noticed that when my wife or I delete a message it deletes from both ipads. I have checked my settings and made sure we are using pop3 account but when I check my mail settings lookup it shows that i am using imap.
I have deleted the account on my laptop in mail and set up another ensuring the settings for pop a/c are correct but this seems to have no effect.
How can I change this?
any help is appreciated
Thank you
Keith

You are, in fact, using IMAP. Whether you can use POP instead depends on your mail service provider.

My email server is pop3, but Apple's Mail Settings Lookup is showing it as an IMAP. Any ideas how to get Apple showing the correct details?

Leave feedback for Apple at www.apple.com/feedback, or contact your email provider. It's the email providers that give that info to Apple, so both parties need to be updated.

Yes, how does it get changed in the online "Mail Settings Lookup" It is wrong there, but right in my mail preferences. My Charter Account is locked on my computer.

Old e-mail account keeps showing up when I reply to e-mail sent to active account

I deleted a hotmail e-mail account from my iPhone. The reason that I deleted it was because sometimes when I replied to an e-mail sent to my aol or Time-Warner e-mail addresses (which were active on the phone), the e-mail would somehow show up to the recipient as having come from the old hotmail account. Thus, when the other person replied, it went to the hotmail account instead of my aol or Time-Warner account.
Incredibly, even after I deleted the hotmail account from the phone, restarted it and did everything else that I could think of to be sure that it was gone, this still happens. Here is an example:
1. I send an e-mail to a friend from my aol account.
2. The friend replies and I receive the e-mail in my aol account.
3. I reply back to the friend. In the "from" box in the e-mail that my friend receives from me, it does not show the aol account, but instead the hotmail account.
4. When the friend replies, it goes to the hotmail account and not the account.
5. The only way that I become aware that the friend replied is by checking the hotmail account.
So the question is: how do I get this to stop?

How can I configure Lion server or mail.app to show IMAP subfolders with mailboxes?

I'm sure we've all seen the weird IMAP glitch where mail subfolders appear down lower on the mail.app pane instead of nested neatly under the mailbox itself. Usually you can get around this by changing the Inbox IMAP prefix to "" or "INBOX" or "/" or some such path that the server recognizes as the root path to your IMAP folder. Unfortunately, this sometimes means you are unable to work with those folders or introduce other problems.
Since I am running Lion (Client) and Lion Server as my mail host, I would think that there is an appropriate answer to this either on the mail.app client settings, or perhaps with a Lion Server configuration through DOVECOT. I don't mind if the solution is a command-line one, but I need to be able to easily set up my mailboxes so that mail subfolders appear properly under each mailbox, instead of being hidden away lower on the page where it is very inconvenient to find, especially when you are using multiple email accounts.
Client Machine Lion 10.7.3
Server Machine Lion Server 10.7.3
Please Help!!!!

I've tried editing /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf on Lion Server to add the following:
namespace private {
type = private
separator = /
prefix = INBOX/
inbox = yes
This puts me in a catch-22:
If I leave the "IMAP Path Prefix" setting in the account Advanced tab empty, I can see the subfolders and move messages in and out of them, but can't add or edit the folders or heirarchy.
If I set the "IMAP Path Prefix" to "INBOX" I can add and edit subfolders, but they don't appear nested under my inbox.
Please help!

Outgoing Mail Settings Not Showing

Hello,
I recently purchased an iPhone 4s, and had a little trouble sending e-mail from it (Hotmail). I had the settings good to go, and was able to send/receive e-mail from my Hotmail account, but then last night I got the Delivery Failure notification when I tried to send an e-mail. No problem, I'll just check the outgoing mail settings to make sure everything is set correctly, but they're not there?? I go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>My Hotmail Account>Account, and it doesnt show the Outgoing or Incoming Mail settings. It only has my e-mail, password, description, and below that the S/MIME on/off setting. I cant find anything on where the settings went. Am I going crazy or does anyone know what's going on?

Update: I called in to Apple Support and they advised me to set up another e-mail account on the phone. I did this (gmail) and everything is fine. It appears to be an issue with Hotmail and iOS playing well together. I've seen this around the internet as well, but haven't come across a case where the Outgoing mail settings just disappeared.

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Mail accounts not showing up when in iTunes.

I'm trying to rearrange the order of my (5) mail accounts by following directions found on a post titled "How to change order of mail accounts in iPhone 4 mail app". One of the steps involves viewing and modifying the list of mail accounts while in iTunes.
As I mentioned I have 5 mail accounts, two mobile me, two yahoo and one gmail. All are active and I receive and send on them with my phone regularly. Only one of my Mobile Me accounts shows up in the list in the iTunes window.
Anyone have suggestions?

Syncing calendar events direct with Outlook via the iTunes sync process is not associated with an email account.
Syncing calendar events direct with Outlook via the iTunes sync process is separate from transferring the email account settings for an email account or accounts from your computer to the iPhone's Mail app, which only needs to be done once to transfer the email account settings to your iPhone followed by deselecting this.
Deselecting an email account under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes after the email account settings have been transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync does not delete the email account from your iPhone.
Deselect this under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by selecting Apply and then delete the account from the iPhone's Mail app that you don't want to access on your iPhone.

TS3276 Mail app says my imap.google is not responsive

I have gone through the following steps and am unable to still have the app recognize my google imap. Any suggestions?

If you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate an application-specific password in your Google account and enter it instead of the login password you use on the website. You must change the password for both the incoming and the outgoing mail server.

TS3276 mail settings issues

Why does Mail persistently ask for or seem to lose my, and my wife's hawaiiantel.net SMTP settings and or passwords?

I've noticed that Apple Mail will sometimes prompt for a mail server password as a result of an intermittent network error; due to WiFi networking problems, cabling problems, flaky router, etc. Most recently, troubleshooting a similar report for one site reporting this issue found a Time Capsule with a weak WiFi signal.

How to change Mail settings to show mails in HTML or text ?

Hi,
I am using SL10.8,
I somehow changed the mail viewing setting in Mail app to display all mails in text, now html mails loks quite ugly, and I couln't find the option to change this.
please help

I am using a Mac Mini with OS 10.8.5. I have the same problem with Mail and HTML images — in particular an email in the form of a grid with concert dates and venues, which displays correctly in webmail in my browser, but in Mail appears as a continuous unformatted and unpunctuated text.
I have just tried your first Terminal command, and this is what appears:
Michaels-Mac-mini:~ MichaelGraubart$ defaults read com.apple.mail PreferPlainText
2014-12-15 18:45:33.458 defaults[27374:707]
The domain/default pair of (/Users/MichaelGraubart/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferen ces/com.apple.mail, PreferPlainText) does not exist
Michaels-Mac-mini:~ MichaelGraubart$
Can you suggest anything else I could try? I should be very grateful.

I cannot use about an inch of the screen where the mail settings are. for example when I log on to face book I cannot change any thing

it's the inch just below the toolbars

Docs&settings only shows bookmarks from Int Explorer used previously, not Moxilla. How can I save the bookmarks which are shown correctly when using MF?

I want to save my bookmarks as I have done periodically since 2000 using Xp.
For copying to F drive or USB, procedure is open C drive, Documents and settings, my name, Favorites
I have hundreds of sorted bookmarks which I update fairly often.
Changed to MF about five years ago.
It looks like nothing has been added to the Favorites within Documents and Settings since then - all have the blue Int. Explorer logo, none in Moxilla colours.
I was unaware of this as all bookmarks are shown correctly to left of desktop.

There are three basic options
#You can backup the bookmarks in a form that Firefox can use. And these include any tags with them. See [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
#Firefox stores History in the same database: '''places.sqlite'' the whole of that or even the whole of the profile may be backed up if necessary. See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
#You may back them up by '''export / import''' as HTML. These are the same sort of files as is used for IE favourites / favorites. (These will append or tack on to existing bookmark collections) See [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
CARE if you restore bookmarks from a backup it overwrites your existing bookmarks so always back them up manually before doing any restore.
Firefox creates its own library of bookmarks. It is possible to add HTML files from IE to these. You will not be able to make sense of Firefox's .json or .sqlite files other than by allowing them to be used within Firefox. The HTML files may probably be opened directly by Firefox or some other programs such as Word Processors.

SMPT server does not recognized when send email use POP3

I can not send email from outlook on Mac Pro - I use the same server for incoming and out going, incoming email well receive but not outgoing and one can help ?
it notice show as bellow
Error - Through this server
Can not send email. The SMTP server does not recognize any of the authentication methods supported by outlook. Try change your SMTP.... I use the same server for incoming and out going, incoming email well receive but not outgoing and one can help ?

The problem is probably the wrong host name. If you have an MSN account the outgoing server may be different than it is for Hotmail. If you log in to your web mail account and go to the Support page you should be able to find instructions to set up POP3 mail. In those instructions should be the host name, port, and any other settings you need.
Usually you just enter the first part of your email address as the user name, but you should be able to confirm this in the POP3 setup instructions. If the user name alone doesn't work then try the full email address. Also, if you have a login name to MSN that is different from your email address you can try that also.
Regarding the "<hostname>:25" entry, many people have found that email sends faster if you specify the port number; if you don't, the iPhone tries all possible ports which can take several minutes. This isn't your problem, but it is good practice to specify the port number. In versions before 1.1.1 the only way to do this was to put the port number after the host name, separated by a colon. In 1.1.1 there is a separate field for in in the Advanced settings.
It would be helpful to know the error message you are getting when you try to send. That will determine whether the iPhone is not finding the server, or is finding it but the send is being rejected by the server.
Keep at it; there is a way to get it to work.
