Use Any IMAP E-mail Account With iPhone?

Hi,
I asked this before, but never got a satisfying answer. On Apple's website it says:
"iPhone uses a rich HTML email client that fetches your email in the background from most POP3 or IMAP mail services and displays photos and graphics right along with the text."
MOST. So, if I already have a Yahoo e-mail account, can I enable IMAP and get my iPhone to work with it?

Ok, so if you already have a Yahoo e-mail account, you can use it with the iPhone via IMAP, right?
But, is this right. From what I've read, you can't use Yahoo IMAP with Apple Mail on your desktop. So, the whole IMAP syncing thing between your Mac and your iPhone won't really work unless you pay for a .mac account.

  • Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac. Tried every settings, My iCloud only works with Mail.app

    Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac or any other Mac. My iCloud will only work with Mail.app. All the clients I tried work perfectly well as long as I sign in with somebody else's iCloud account. But mine won't work no matter the client (Postbox, Unibox, Airmail...) and no matter the computer.
    I can access my account on iCloud.com, but I can't use email clients without getting error messages prompting me to check my password or login.
    I was able to use those clients in the past but a couple of months ago I got logged out of Airmail and the issue started just like that!
    I tried every possible mail server settings including the following:
    IMAP information for the incoming mail server
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
    Port: 993
    Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not [email protected])
    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
    Port: 587
    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker)
    Password: Your iCloud password

    Those are the correct settings, and they work with any email client that supports Imap.
    Try again.

  • I have business and personal e-mail accounts with different contacts. Can I have more than one address book on my iPhone?

    I have business and personal e-mail accounts with different contacts. Can I have more than one address book on my iPhone?

    Set up an additional user account and use one for work and one for personal stuff - each will have a separate address book. Turn on fast user switching for easy switching between the two.

  • How to reply from Gmail account using Hotmail address in Mail app in iPhone iOS 6?

    Hello,
    Since the iOS 6 upgrade on my 4 iPhone, the "imap.gmail.com" won't work.
    I had my e-mail set up as "other" and would receive my Hotmail in Gmail using imap, so I could reply using my Hotmail address.
    So I deleted everything and tried again but it still won't work.
    In the mean time, I am using the Gmail App but can't use the Apple Mail app because it won't reply from my Hotmail address, and I do not want to have to choose my reply-to address; I didn't have to before.
    I do not want to use my Gmail address for anything.
    I want to always use my Hotmail address.
    Praying for help! I want to be able to use my Mail app like before!
    Also not sure if the Gmail app is killing my battery, or if the new iOS 6 is....
    Thanks so much.

    I said I want to use my Hotmail ADDRESS only. Not the Hotmail e-mail.
    I check my Hotmail in Gmail. I love how Gmail is set up.
    I've tried deleting and recreating.
    In order to check my Hotmail in Gmail on the iPhone, and reply from my Hotmail address using Gmail, you have to set up your mail on the iPhone using "other" when adding an e-mail account.
    Since the upgrade, it will no longer let me use the "imap" feature and based on my research, it seems like everyone is having this issue.
    Yes, I can use the Gmail e-mail account, but when I reply it'll show my Gmail address and I'd like it to show my Hotmail address WITHOUT having to use a drop-down menu and switch the reply-to address.
    Hope that clarifies.

  • Deleting a mail account on iPhone completely

    Deleting an IMAP mail account on iPhone doesn't actually delete it nor its messages, just hides them. In other words, if I delete te account and then re-enter all the same login details, the messages are right there without need to download. How can I truly delete the account so that I can start from scratch and download the messages from the server? Is there a way?

    I know but instead of showing the 1000 most recent e-mails it skips whole weeks, going back to 2011. It's really a mystery how this happened without any of my doing. Just to reiterate: on the computer there are all the messages perfectly showing up. On the iPhone only with big gaps. If I could completely delete the account with no trace, I could re-add that account with the same login details and it would force to download the 1000 most recent messages, just like when I first set up the phone.

  • IMap / Pop3 mail account

    Hi everybody …
    I normally use Pop3 as my mail account settings but now I am working on more then one machine (actually 3 machines) and therefore I would very much like to change my settings/system so that I would read/write all my e-mail without doing the job with moving mails from the inbox to my folders twice.
    What will happen with my mail when I change my settings of my account from being a pop3 account to a Imap account?
    What is the downside for an Imap account vs. a Pop 3 account?

    What will happen with my mail when I change
    my settings of my account from being a pop3 account
    to a Imap account?
    Have you confirmed this email account supports POP or IMAP?
    If so and assuming you are using the Mail.app on all 3 Macs, the only way to change the account type with the Mail.app is by deleting and re-creating the account selecting IMAP as the account type when re-creating the account.
    This will delete all account mailboxes but will not affect any messages that remain on the server in the account's Inbox mailbox on the server.
    Before deleting the account in Mail, you have two options deselecting include when automatically checking for new mail under the Advanced tab for the account preferences.
    1. Create "On My Mac" location mailboxes - one for the account's Inbox mailbox and one for the account's Sent mailbox. Transfer all messages from the account's Inbox mailbox and Sent mailbox to the appropriate user created "On My Mac" location mailbox and then delete and re-create the account.
    Or 2. Quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account).
    Copy the account named folder and place the copy on the Desktop.
    Launch Mail and delete and re-create the account. Use the Import Mailbox feature importing selected mailboxes from within the copy of the account named folder placed on the Desktop.
    With an IMAP type account, messages in the account's Inbox mailbox in Mail are stored on the server and kept synchronized on the server by default. You can also store Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server which is available under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences. The settings under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences must be identical with the Mail.app on each Mac.
    All server stored mailboxes will be kept synchronized with the server with the Mail.app on each Mac.
    What is the downside for an Imap account
    vs. a Pop 3 account?
    Really none but keep in mind when a message is transferred from a server stored mailbox to a user created "On My Mac" location mailbox (which is stored locally on the hard drive), this process stores the transferred message locally on the hard drive and removes the message from the server at the same time so any such transferred message with the Mail.app on any Mac will no longer be available with the Mail.app on other Macs.
    Another benefit of an IMAP type account is creating a server stored mailbox to store selected messages as needed and when doing so, the created server stored mailbox will be available with the Mail.app on all Macs.

  • How do I add a new mailbox to a mail account on iphone?

    How do I add a new mailbox to a mail account on iphone?

    One thing that might help out.
    To add a folder or a mailbox to your existing account, you need to add it on your computer.
    Now, this will work and reflect to the iphone if you are using an imap or exchange account.
    If you are using a pop account, you will not be able to add a folder to an account on the iphone.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have an old apple id that i havent used for years. For some reason i have updates on my mac i cannot do unless i sign onto that old account. It uses an old e mail account i no longer use or have access to. How can i get to do these updates?

    I have an old apple id that i havent used for years. For some reason i have updates on my mac i cannot do unless i sign onto that old account. It uses an old e mail account i no longer use or have access to. How can i get to do these updates?

    its very specific.
    If you are seeing the old Apple ID with regard to this Mac, then it would seem that somehow you have incorporated the ID in the setup of this new Mac.
    Iphoto i use never used imovie.
    If you began using iPhoto without having Accepted it into your Apple ID, then that would explain why you are unable to update the app. If any of the iLife apps are used without Accepting them into your Apple ID, the ability to accept them will lapse and you will not be able to update them.

  • Can i use an old eprint email account with a new printer?

    can i use an old eprint email account with a new printer?

    Hello arbazu,
    Unfortunately, when setting up a new/replacement printer, you wont be able to use the same email address, nor can it be transferred to another printer. Once an email is used, the email address itself is not able to be used for a certain period of time (which I believe is 6 months).
    However, by creating a new email address, but adding an 01 or 02 at the end, you can get something very similar to what you had previously.
    If I have helped in any way, just click the Kudos star on the left. Also, if your issue has been resolved, don't forget to select Accept as Solution

    Now remove all your info and update the old AppleiD/iTunes account and use only that account.
    You cannot transfer items between iTunes accounts.
    You can redownload all the content.
