University email with mac and iPhone

So i guess that i must not be very tech savy or maybe this isn't possible, but would anyone know anything about setting up a university email account (that is through iPlanet Messenger Express) wih my mac and iPhone???

Lebowski-Bluto,
I was not familiar with iPlanet Messenger Express, so I did a search for it. Appears to be a web-based email service. You could access it with Safari.
However, if you are looking to download your email you need to find out the POP3 or IMAP servers your university uses.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Hi ron1098,
Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.

Receiving charter email to mac and iphone

We have Charter email, a verizon iphones, and mac os x. We can not receive emails to our mac and iphones at the same time. According to Charter, there is no way to receive emails to our mac unless our iphone mail server is turned OFF. Is this true? Help.

I have the same issues, but wish to clarify a few of the suggestions. Basically, I have an iPhone 4 (Verizon), and a Charter e-mail account. Right now I have configured my Charter account (IMAP) to send/receive on the iPhone. However, now I can't use Outlook on my PC to send/receive e-mail from the Charter account. It gives an error indicating that another device (the iPhone) is already connected to the mail server. I would be OK with this as the e-mail on the iPhone works great, however, I like to download and store my mail locally on my PC. Now I can't do this. The only way around this is to remove the Charter account from the iPhone, dump the messages down from the server to my PC through Outlook. However, that also removes all my mail from the iPhone.
I'm down with forwarding my Charter e-mail to a G-mail account, and setting up G-mail on the iPhone. However, my concerns are:
1) Would e-mail I send from the iPhone now show my G-mail address versus my Charter address? I don't want this to happen, too much confusion.
2) Would I need to configure my home PC/Outlook to download from the G-mail server, or keep it as the Charter server?
Appreciate any thoughts/suggestions!
Thanks

Easiest way to use one bt device with mac and iPhone?

What's the easiest way to use one bluetooth device with both Mac and iPhone? (Not a the same time.) I have it working with a voip phone on my mac (x-lite), or with the Bria voip app and the ATT line on my iphone. What I want is step by step how to accomplish the transition with the fewest clicks. I understand that I can't use it with both the Mac and the iPhone at the same time, and that's acceptable.
But it's tedious, and I would like to switch it back and forth several times a day.

You might be thinking of Crossover. Not sure if Windows Media Player works under it, but their website has info on requested and working apps.
Best of luck.

New iCloud setup with Mac and iPhone

I just setup iCloud for both my Mac and iPhone and still my gmail does not update between the two. I used the setup for both as shown on the Apple site. I thought this was supposed to be easy. Any ideas as to what I might be missing?

I would have thought that the Apple products would deconflict the message traffic from the email accounts, via iCloud.
I'm afraid you thought wrong. Modern email accounts do not work like that. Email messages, and the status of those messages is stored on the email server. If you setup the same IMAP account on numerous devices, the email is stored on the server and each email client reads the status of the messages from the server. Keeping things "in sync" is a function of the email server, not the email client.
I was under the assumption they were innovative enough to think about using their own products to help users manage ALL email, through Mail and iCloud, on several devices.
Since Apple do not have control over Google's mail servers (or anyone else's, apart from their own), it is not technically possible for them to do what you are asking. Creating a whole new, Apple-only proprietary email protocol would not be innovative at all, when the IMAP email standard already exists and is used everywhere.
As already mentioned, if you want to keep a Google Mail account in sync across multiple devices and computers, you use the facilities that Google provides for doing so i.e. their IMAP (or Exchange) email servers.
If you want to keep an Apple iCloud (@me.com) email account in sync across multiple devices and computers, you use the facilities that Apple provides for doing so i.e the iCloud IMAP email server.
Same applies to Hotmail email accounts, or Yahoo! Email account. Email clients do not keep email in sync - the server does.

Calling Online number with Mac and iPhone running ...

I'm running V5.3.0.1093 on OSx Lion, I have the latest version running on my iPhone4, when I call my online number from a landline both the Mac and iPhone ring, if I answer the call on my Mac the iPhone continues to ring until the end of the call.
This only happens when the Skype app is running in the background on the iPhone, I also get a missed called notification on the iPhone. The is very annoying as I can't mute the ring or adjust the volume, the mute button and volume control on the phone is rendered useless!!
Thanks.

My response might not make you very happy but it is what it is, firstly the call forwarding works by your skype phone calling you and directing the call. Meaning you are getting a call from skype not the original phone meaning you cannot get caller ID. Second Your skype VM only works when the call is unanswered and if your mobiles VM answers it is not unanswered. It is approximately the same effect though except mobile VM costs money and skypes does not.

ICal syncing with mac and iphone problem - duplicating all alarms.

I have a mobile me account linked to my office mac, my home mac and my iPhone and my wife's iphone. I have been using this to sync all my contacts and calendar for 18 months with no problems until just after christmas. It suddenly duplicated all my contacts and all my iCal alarms. To solve it I had to use time machine to take my ical and address book back a few days and then force everything to update from that machine.
This I thought solved it but now three weeks later it has duplicated all my alarms again. Why is this happening and how do I stop it? It does not inspire confidence in this system if it randomly changes things. How do I know it will not suddenly delete something? It is also very frustrating and time consuming to reset all the data back a few days.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

The synchronization between iCal, MobileMe, and iPhone is one of the biggest embarrassments and disgraces Apple has yet to deal with.
For over a year, I have been battling duplicates with little success. Add to all this MS Entourage, which I had to install last year because Mac Mail doesn't play nicely with Exchange server. (My company uses Exchange for our mail, etc.) To be clear, the duplicate problem existed prior to the addition of Entourage 2008. So you are out of luck, Koolaide Fans; you can't point the finger at MS in this case.
After 6 months of struggling and fighting with Entourage (and because there is no native version of MS Project or Visio for Mac) I finally had to install VM Ware with Windows 7, MS Office 2007, Visio, Project, etc. The MS apps work perfectly under the Windows 7 session. So, I my functionality for business has been restored. However, I am left wondering why I have a Mac if it can't provide me the functionality I need for such basic things as Email, calendars, contacts, and tasks. I am to the point where I am basically doing everything in the VMWare session under Windows.
I am very pleased with my Mac's ability to do video editing, graphics, and sound using Adobe products. But again, I work in mainstream corporate America where 90% of the marketshare is still PC/Windows.
In the end, I am hoping someone from Apple can come forward soon and say "This is EXACTLY how you need to configure your Entourage/iCal/MobileMe/iPhone so that you aren't crippled by duplicates and other nonsense...." It really is ridiculous.

Cannot send/reply email on Mac and iPhone

SOMETIMES I cannot send or reply emails on my Mac, not all the time though. Went to Apple Store where a Genius helped me reset my mail app but turning it off and back on again, it worked there and then but when I got home, I'm still getting the below same message when I try to send or reply sometimes:
"Connections to the server "p08-smtp.mail.me.com" on the default ports times out.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Layer to leave the message in your Outbox until if can be sent."
This happens on my iPhone as well. Sometimes when I reply to someone's email it'd just sit in the Outbox for more then a day despite numerous attempts to resend. In the end I could only delete it from Outbox and send a new one again. I tried to find answers online without luck, can someone please help?
Note that if I send/reply on iCloud website, everything works perfectly!
Many thanks!

Email with Ipad and Iphone-Deleting off of server

On my ipad and Iphone, I have icloud turned OFF. I have a ATT account that I have set up to BOTH my Iphone and my Ipad. When I recieve and email, both my Ipad and My Iphone recieve the email. However, If I delete it from my Iphone, It automatically deletes on my Ipad. But the major problem is this....
I have on both Iphone and Ipad in Advanced Settings for Mailbox Behavior to Delete messages "On My iPhone" Trash, and not the server. But, When I delete a message on either device and go online into my ATT account on the server, the message is GONE.. It is not even going into my trash. It is like the message never existed!
If I delete a message from my Ipad or My Iphone, it is just to clear them off my phone, I want them to stay in my inbox on the server so I can do work when I get to my desk. I have doubled and tripled check that the Mailbox behavior for delete is to my iphone/ipad! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

POP3 Email with Outlook and iPhone email at the same time??

I have my iPhone set up to receive my Comcast email.
I would like to use Microsoft Outlook to also get my Comcast email.
I know how to set up Microsoft Outlook to get my Comcast email - my problem is this:
When I have Microsoft Outlook opened on my PC, I no longer get the emails sent to my iPhone. The only way to get the emails to show up on my iPhone is to have Outlook closed on my PC.
Anyone know how to have Microsoft Outlook always opened on my PC and receive the emails on both my iPhone and in Microsoft Outlook?
Thanks

It sounds like Outlook is set to remove messages from the server when retrieving email.
Try clicking on File-->Account Settings-->Select your account and click change-->click More Settings-->click the Advanced Tab and check the box to leave a copy of the emails on the server.
You can then also choose to have the emails removed from the server after x number of days or when the email is deleted from the Deleted Items box

Email will not sync with Mac and iPhone

I have an iPhone 3GS which I've updated to OS 4. After reading an email on either my Mac or my phone and delete it, the message is not deleted from the other device. I'm not too "techy" and do not understand what I need to do in order to get the mail synched as it was in OS 3.

I waited an extra week or two like I always do before updating, but I still caught the bug. I was interested when I saw the App Store, but really surprised when my phone didn't show up in iTunes. I haven't tried incredible troubleshooting steps, just letting you all know I have the problem also. As I read up and try those troubleshooting steps I'll come back and repost. Thanks for your posts on here...maybe Apple will be quick about fixing the update with a new update.

Pushing & Fetching Emails on Mac and iPhone

Can someone please explain to me what "pushing" and "fetching" are as it relates to Mail on iCloud. I have my hotmail account set to my iPhone mail and my Mac iMail. I receive my hotmail emails on both devices. However, when I read or delete from one it does not update on the other. I have to read or delete on each device. I'm sure there is a switch/button/setting that I simply don't have right. Could someone help me out?
Thanks!

You are not accessing your hotmail account as an Exchange account on your computer so push access does not apply there - fetch applies there which is not the same, and accessing it on what other devices as in plural and is accessed as what type of account there?
I have an Exchange account with my company which is pushing email to my iPhone and iPad just fine.
Google provides support for free Gmail accounts.
Apple provides support for free iCloud accounts.
Microsoft provides support for free Hotmail accounts and you need to contact them to report a problem with their push access, which is a new protocol for them. Since you just started having a problem and there has been no iOS update to change anything with the iPhone, the problem lies with Microsoft.
If they don't give you support, too bad.

Cant fix email with imail and iphone

Seriously I'm nearly in tears going nuts here. I bought my phone just a week or so ago. Went from a blackberry to the iPhone 4S and I know it's supposed to be better, but serioulsy I wish I had my BB for email right now! I am receiving emails on my phone, but not on iMail on my iMac. My phone shows IMAP and my computer showed POP, so we tried making a new account with IMAP. What happened then was iMail tried to check BOTH. When I disable the POP, ALL my inbox disappears with and I have none of my stored messages. If I enable it and tell it not to check POP, somehow it still does and they "fight" and don't get anything. Mean time I am ONLY recieving emails on the iPhone and that wont work for me! I tried syncing the emails and then I ended up with 2 accounts on my iPhone and I got double messages, but STILL nothing on iMail. I also lost ALL of my messages on my iPhone when trying to add accounts and whatnot on iMail because I deleted everything from iMail not realizing the iPhone email doesn't work the same way as Blackberrry! Please help! I have a photo issue too that I'll write a separate message for.

How to sync emails on mac and iPhone

How do I sync my emails on my phone with the emails on my Macbook Pro, so that when I delete items off my inbox on my phone it will automatically recognise it on my Mac?
Rather annoying having to see the emails on my Mac again after deleting them all.

Mail can be synchronized by storing it on a mail server that uses the IMAP protocol, such as iCloud. The mail stays on the server, so it's automatically in sync with all mail clients.
