TS4002 canot setup email account in MAIL

I'm trying to setup an Email address (me) on mac book pro mac os Mail
however when i logn on ICLOUD it does work so it's probably setting issue but which one ???

If your using OS X Lion version 10.7.2 or later, follow these instructions to set it up automatically: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html. Just sign into your iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then check Mail.
If you're using OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) or Leopard (10.5), see http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html. If you have Tiger (10.4), see http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail2.html.

How to setup email account on mail app?

I currently have an ".edu" account that I usually log-in through a browser.
I usually place my email username in mail.office365.com then redirects me to adfs."school here".edu
Then I usually do the actual login username and password for the organizational account.
We are currently using the Outlook Web App on our school email.
So, I don't know how to use this .edu account for the mail app in Windows 8.1.
Is there any manual settings to add a microsoft account in windows 8.1?

Hi,
Did you mean that you want to add a “.edu” account to Mail App (Tile)in win8.1, if so, please open mail app, move mouse to the right edge, click Settings>Accounts>Add an account>Other Account.
But to get started with Mail app, you need a Microsoft account, see detailed information in this link:

TS4002 My iCloud email account in mail.app keeps been 'disconnected' despite me having full internet access...

As description,
I keep having issues where mail.app keeps losing collection to the icloud account for no apparent reason, even though I have full Internet access?
any ideas?

Sorry David,
Really appreciate your help did not mean to confuse things.
I am having issues primarily with mail.app in osx (keeps diconnecting)
most of the time mail comes through to my iphone/ipad with no issues. However sometimes I have push issues with the iphone, it breaks until I close and reopen the mail app in ios (I belive this is an issue some others have)
The issue with ios started when i transitioned to iCloud from MobileMe (was .mac previous to this) the issue with osx only staretd with Mountain Lion?
Hope this is now clear. (Could the issue be server side, apples end?)

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.

I have 3 email accounts in Mail on Macbook Pro. Mail is only being sent from 1 account.

I have 3 email accounts in Mail. Mail is only being sent from 1 account, even though I select one of the other accounts in the "from" field. In my sent box, the "From" field says the accout I selected, but all recipients say they receive it from a different account. I set my composing preferences "send new messages from" to the main account, but all my mail is still being sent from a different account. I cannot see that this is happening, only people receiving it can. I noticed it because when they reply, it goes to a different account than what I sent to them. Any suggestions with what I should do?

Thank you! Funny. I had just found that answer eleswhere: http://simonwheatley.co.uk/2013/02/apple-mail-sending-email-from-the-wrong-accou nt/

How do I remove an entire email account from mail if it does not allow me to click "remove mailbox"?

How do I remove an entire email account from mail if it does not allow me to click "remove mailbox"?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately you can't delete accounts, you also can't change or remove iCloud addresses.

I can't seem to set up a second email account with Mail. Help...and thanks!

I'm having an impossible time setting up a second email account on Mail. Seemed as though it would be simple but after I've done all the basics, it sets up the account on MobileMe instead of iCloud and there it stops. Can't send or receive messages. I'm lost! Advice?

I do have an iCloud account and have since October. I am trying to set up a second email address. Perhaps I'm asking Mail to do more than it's equipped to do.
I have set up an alias with the new email address through my existing iCloud account. However, when I test sending and receiving, the emails to and from the new address are in the same list as my regular Mail. Not sure this helps with my desire to separate the two! Perhaps I'm still doing something wrong.
I do appreciate your help.

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!

I am constantly prompted to verify my password for my ATT (Yahoo) email account in Mail.

Every frew minutes I am prompted to reenter/verify my ATT email account in Mail. This has been working flawlessly until a few weeks ago. I tried deleting and recreating the account with no success.
ATT uses Yahoo to host their email and I use the imap inbound and outbound server settings. I can still receive and send using that account but have to respond to the "enter your password pop-up every few minutes even though the password field is populated.

I am also searching for the "fix" as mine hase been doing the same for about 3-4 months now and this is OLD... there are a lot of people working on this from the "communities forum" but Apple is doing nothing about it so far... I have also searched the Yahoo communities for a "fix" but the trolls just tell everyong to move to Gmail... LOL... so I will hope you(and the rest of us= alot) get an answer in here... If I find the "fix" elsewhere, I will be back to post here...

Is there a way to have multiple email accounts in mail but only get notifications for one account?

I would like to add my junk email account to mail for quick access, but I don't want to see notifications (or the number of unread emails). The options I can find are notifications for all accounts or none. On my iphone, I can select the notification level for each email address, but I can't find this option for my mac.

Hi,
Yes the smart mailbox you set up was a very basic one. I tells Mail to display anything that is assigned to that account. So if you move an email from say the inbox of that account, to another folder of the same account, then the smart mailbox will not look any different as it is looking at the whole account.
In reality, you never need to use or look at this smart mailbox and you can continue to keep looking at the normal inboxes as you always have, but the Dock icon will only update according to unread emails anywhere in that account.
If you would like to refine what the smart mailbox looks at, say the inbox only of that account, then you add another rule to the smart mailbox.
Edit the smart mailbox
hit '+' next to the first rule
Add the new rule
Now the smart mailbox will only display what is in the inbox of that account

I deleted a pop email account from mail. How can I recover those sent messages without Time Machine?

I deleted a pop email account from mail. How can I recover those sent messages without Time Machine?

Thomas,
"Note that you were warned that this would happen and approved it. When you delete an e-mail account in Mail, you are shown a message like the following:"
You didn't read my problem - I said I deleted a POP email account. I always read the messages that pop up and in Mail when you delete a POP account - IT DOESN'T TELL YOU NUTHIN! It just deletes it - which *** for me. Fortunately, I had an iPhone and on that device I had about a 1000 messages that I could recover but on all my POP accounts I download them from the server onto my Mac so they were only on Mail (the really old ones that I wanted to keep.) I had to move them into another directory one by one basically because when I would move 50 some of them would move and some wouldn't and I never did figure out that problem. Basically the ones that would not move are the ones that were associated with my domain changes with GoDaddy, and there were a lot of those. Have no idea as to why only those were resistant to moving but I can get all that data from GoDaddy anyway.
This thread is now moot seeing as how I've recovered everything I can and am going to just move on - and back up more often. ;-)
Apple and Mail need to rewrite that program to include a WARNING MESSAGE when deleting an Account in Mail that says ALL YOUR MESSAGES ARE GOING TO DISAPPEAR NEVER TO RETURN IF YOU DELETE THIS ACCOUNT, SO YOU DANG WELL BETTER HAVE A BACK UP IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ANYTHING BEFORE PRESSING THAT MINUS SYMBOL! ;-)

How do I setup multiple emails accounts on mail for mac pro ?

How do you access more than one email account with Mail

I have multiple email accounts, and have already set up my pop, and smtp servers. But I cannot figure out how to access/ login into the other account. I have had one account setup for a while now. I just setup another account, but can only access the original account. I've looked under 'preferences' I can see that the new account has been created, but how do I log in to it? Can someone please help?
Thanx,
Mike Dunn

Hello Mike.
You can access multiple accounts and account types with the Mail.app with one exception.
You can access multiple accounts with Mail by the same provider (same account type and shares the same incoming mail server) and each account can have the same password as long as they are true accounts which means each email address or account has its own user name which is usually the portion of the email address in front of the @ sign only but with some providers it is the entire email address.
An additional email address or account by the same provider that shares the same user name and password as the primary account is really an alias account and cannot be accessed as a separate account with Mail.
An alias account or address to a primary account can be accessed with the primary account by adding the email address for the alias to the email address field separated by a comma under the Account Information tab for the primary account's preferences.
All messages addressed to the alias email address will be received and delivered to the Inbox mailbox for the primary account.

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.
