Using DotMac Mail on a Touch

Currently testing using my iMac to share internet connection. Browsing YouTube etc all work fine BUT .mac mail crashes Safari on the Touch when you enter the title or try to write the text. On connecting to the iMac to Sync, iTunes said there had been a problem ask asked if I wanted to email the logs to Apple which I did. I am going to try again with the Developer option enabled on the Touch.
Anyone else had same problem OR had success?
By the way successfully used www.meebo.com to have an 'iChat' (AIM) text chat. Good practice for typing on the virtual keyboard!!

Since my last post...
I have not been able to create a new email on DotMac. I can enter the addressee but when I type into either the Title or text areas MobileSafari crashes.
I have however been able to reply to an existing mail message and send it off.
The Crash logs in Console logs appear in CrashReporter:MobileDevice:UserName's iPod
Anyone else able to replicate this?

E-mail with ipod touch

Can one use e-mail on ipod touch? If so how? Can you use MS Outlook? If not how can you access your e-mail?
Thanks

There is no "built in" email software. You can use Safari to check email online though. Gmail and .Mac work well. I can check my Groupwise and outlook work accounts because they have a web based interface. Most employers provide a web based interface.

Cant access school e-mail on iPod Touch. Uses Gmail.

Hey,
I have a school e-mail ([email protected]) and cant get it to work with the mail app. I followed google's instructions on their page (http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77702&topic=12814) and have imap enabled on my iPod. But it cant connect.
I tried using POP and imap. It will either say my password is not correct, or it cant connect to imap.google.com. I know the password is correct, it works perfectly fine when I try and access it through safari on the touch. I do have a always on internet connection (connect through a Apple AirPort Extreme, to my modem)
My AOL and Yahoo accounts work perfectly fine. But this one dosent. Is there any way to get it to work?

Hi, panther007:
I use Mail on my touch to get to my Google Apps Gmail account, so I know it works.
Check all settings in Settings/Mail, COntacts, Calendars/your account.
imap.google.com is correct if it is an IMAP account (of course... you can check this via the web or your school's help desk).
Then go to Advanced. I have Use SSL selected, Authentication: Password, and server port 993.

Using iPad mail program I have a draft of an email. I attempted to "cancel" and "delete draft" but it is still on my screen even after shutting down and restarting. How do I exit so that I can use other mail functions?

Using iPad mail program I have a draft of an email. I have attempted to "cancel" this and "delete draft" but the email stays on my screen. How can I exit this so that I can use other email functions?

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Group emails using Apple Mail

From time to time I like to inform about 40 people that I have updated my iWeb site. To do this, I have assembled a 'group' of addresses and I send the update information to them.
It does not appear to be possible to do this using Apple Mail. I have tried breaking the group down into small bite sizes but poor old Mail just can't hack it. It is not up to the job using an internet connection in Australia or in Canada.
Creating such a group using Gmail Mailplane) does not seem to be possible. Indeed that is a distinct deficiency with an otherwise splendid facility.
I am always obliged to fall back on my dusty old copy of Entourage which does the job flawlessly. Unfortunately, Entourage does not send the sexy update message so handily supplied by iWeb.
I have just gone through this again today. Mail did not hack it. It first tried to use the Gmail SMTP server and then the old Dotmac one and finally my ISP provider's outgoing mail server. None of thse worked. Error messages about time outs on Port 25 arrived.
It would be nice to have the various Apple products working together seamlessly but, in my hands, this is not the case.
I am using the latest version of all software.
Any suggestions will be gratefully received and acknowledged.
David Amies

Thank you for your time.
Once one has updated iWeb a three pronged invitation appears on the screen. One of these invites you to 'announce' your changes. If you click on that, Apple Mail fires up with a pre-printed message and a nice little logo. It is up to you to insert any addresses to which you might care to send the notification of your up date.
Now, I have created a group of addressees in Address Book that I call Blog Group 1. I have arranged this group such that the addresses of members are concealed from other members. This you can do in Apple Mail preferences under 'composing.'
I then press the send button. Wheels spin and the machine whirrs and I receive a message that it can't be sent and that I should use another server. It supplies a list of possibilities. I try them all with the same lack of success. I no longer have the exact error message to hand and could only get it by sending my stuff out again and thereby unnecessarily bothering my correspondents.
After messing around with all of this, I use precisely the same group with Microsoft Entourage and hey presto! it works.
If I can send group emails with Entourage but not with Apple Mail then I hardly think that this can be an issue with my ISP. (I tried to phone tech support today to clarify the point but they are down!)
Why then not use Entourage and be done with it, I hear you cry? For reasons that I cannot explain, I try to avoid using Microsoft products unless there is no alternative. Apple purports to have nicely integrated software and so why not use that?
Do you now follow my problem? If you have any further insights, I shall be more than happy to hear them.
Once again, thank you for your time.
Cordially,
David Amies

Mail on iPod touch Questions.....

Hi there,
I am currently considering the purchase of an iPod touch but have a couple of questions about mail. I currently have a cable company based email and a Yahoo Mail account.
Can I have both of these accounts synced to the iPod touch?
If so will Mail on the touch leave the email on the server (so my wife can also view it from Mail on our iBook at home) or will it automatically download all email to the iPod from the server?
Also, if I am out of wifi range will I still be able to generate and email using the touch and would it then send this email automatically when it receives a new wifi signal(kind of like texting on a phone when no service is available)?
Thnx.

It will check automatically for new mail if you tell it too; however, I wouldn't recommend doing that unless you want to charge your ipt twice a day- all that WiFi access goobles up battery time. You can check it manually as soon as you open the application. It updates automatically in that mode.
To answer your specfic question, yes, you can write emails and then send them when in range. It puts them in the "outbox" and will send automatically when a network is found.
As far as multiple accounts/providers, yes, you can set those up easily. And it doesn't remove emails from your server. I read my emails in 4 places. So, you can read them and toss them- they'll still be on your computer.
Welcome to the ipt world.

When i use the mail on my i phone and outlook simultaneousaly, the outlook does not download emails and says "account already being accessed", i want both to work together, please help.

Mail on my touch locks email account on Mail.app on Mac

When I use the mail application of the touch it locks up the account on my Mac in Mail.app. Is there a way to prevent this and still use the email on the touch?

This appeared to be caused by the fact that I keep all my email on the email server for at least 30 days. and It took time to process all of my email.

Hi jfosteroracle,
You are getting the error may be the following reason,
Check the following,
Login as ADMIN and Goto -->Manage Instance-->Instance Settings--> Mail-->Maximum Emails per workspace
Actually this number denotes the Number of mails can be sent per 24 hour for the workspace,It may exceeded.
It may be the reason.
Thank you.

Cannot get or send mail using Apple Mail on iPhone and iPad

Everyone in my household cannot get or send mail on their Apple Mail for iPad and iPhone. We all get the same message: "The user name or password for [account] is incorrect." This just started happening yesterday afternoon. No problems before that. I called my hosting company and Apple, and both blamed the other. My Apple system is always updated, so I have the latest version of Maverick. Had no problems with it up until now.
However, I awoke this morning to find downloaded emails in the same program, but when I go to "get mail," it says the same thing, and still won't allow me to send or receive.
Here's the kicker. I also use Gmail with the exact same accounts (yes, I need both since Apple Mail does things that Gmail doesn't, and vice versa). No problem! I get all my emails and can send with no problem. So, my hosting company claims it can't be them (makes sense). It only happens using Apple Mail, and I have several email addresses. None of them work (other than the strange phenomena of suddenly getting some of them downloaded for no apparent reason).
What do I do from here? I've changed passwords, deleted and tried to set up my emails, only to get the message that they probably will not work. And they don't. I have shut down and restarted my iPad and iPhone, to no avail.
Thank god for my Gmail account, or my business would be closed.
Again, this is happening on four devices in my home: 2 iPads and 2 iPhones.

I have a comcast account I use on my phone and use it for receiving and sending mail. When you look at the account in settings, you need to check each of these
incoming mail server: mail.comcast.net
username: the part of your email address before the @
password: your password
outgoing mail server: smtp.comcast.net
Under Advanced
Use SSL: On
Authentication: Password
Server Port: 995
If you cannot make it work from changing settings in the account, delete the account and start over. Use the "Other" setting when starting the account. It is a POP3 account and make the entries I gave you. Once you do that, it should check the entries and validate the account. You shouldn't have any trouble from there. Those settings will work from either the iPhone on cell, or wireless. Mine will even work when I'm at home on my wireless there, which is on the Comcast network.
Hope that helps you.

Since iOS 8.1.1 I can no longer use my mail app.

Since iOS 8.1.1 I can no longer use my mail app on my iPad Mini. The mail app opens and updates, however the screen does not respond to anything. Am rather stuck as to what to do. This is the Mail App that comes with the iPad Mini.
I have tried to turn the iPad On/Off all to no avail. I don't really want to reset my iPad as this will cause more trouble than it is worth and will ultimately update the iPad to iOS 8.1.1 anyway. Do any of you have any suggestions that don't involve resetting the iPad ?
Thanks All

Before you delete your mail accounts, try giving your iPad a reset and force closing the mail app. It may clear up the glitch before you remove and add your info again
Reset
Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.
Force close an app
Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
If those don't fix it then try to remove and put your info back in.

Delete mail from iPod Touch but not from webmail

I like to access my webmail with my Touch but I don't like leaving mail on my Touch. How do I take it off without also deleting it from my webmail account?

Not possible, that would defeat the convenience of webmail/touch syncing. If your concern is security (ie, someone finds or steals your touch), set the touch to Autolock in Settings. With this feature enabled, someone would need to enter a password to see your email (or do anything else with your touch).

I seem to have multiple problems related or unrelated. I cannot use Apple Mail for blueyonder and mostly for gmail as both show that the server is off line. My pop up blocker doesn't work and I am blitzed with pop up windows on nearly every command

Firstly I am unable to use Apple mail except for hotmail, for blueyonder, gmail or Sky as the server shows as (off line) and I have no idea how to get them on line even though I tell them to go there.
My pop up blocker doesn't work and I am blitzed with advertising windows virtually on ever command I make, one seems to be impossible to unsubscribe from.
When I am in an email with a web link the web link doesn't work and I get a window saying that I must have a pop up blocker, but if I switch it off it is no different, what does work is switching the "enable Java script off", then when I get to the web site I can't use it until I switch the java script back on.
I can't do a screen shot either full or partial, when I try it changes the web site that is on screen to another.
So what have I done that might have caused problems, downloading Yosemite seemed to be the start of the problems. Since then I have started to install Mackeeper, after checking with a family members who should know, that MacPaw is safe. I decided that I didn't want to pay the subscription, so went through the uninstall instructions but it comes up as a pop up with considerable regularity.
My stress levels have gone through the roof with pop ups happening so regularly and not being able to use Apple mail.o can anyone help please?
