Using icloud as primary incoming/outgoing mail server with Gmail

VZW CDMA/LTE IPhone 5-16gb
I won't provide my serial # unless certain digits have aNy bearing upon these issues.
I was wondering if anybody could help me configure my iPhone 5 to use the icloud mail server as the primary server for both my icloud account and my gmail account as well?
Is this possible to do or do I still need the gmail server as well?
I've read that the icloud server provides message encryption as well..?
Any help would be awesome. I just feel like with having 3 email accounts, it's sucking the power out of my phone and it also tends to get very
Hot at times under any kind of load (playing a racing game for over 20 mins, syncing device, etc)
Is this also not normal as well?
I just feel as if this phone should be much faster, especially handling processes, sync, even my wifi speeds suffer over a wifi connection between 20-30mbps DL and 12mbps upload. I've tried resets of network settings,,airplane on/off, renewing lease, closing programs etc.
Can someone please help, it's greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I got SMTP relay through Gmail working with the help of this little tutorial. Basically you just need to tweak the Postfix config files to leverage SSL.

  • Setting up outgoing mail server (with Gmail??)

    Hi,
    I'm as green as you can get with Final Cut Server and I just installed it on my Mac Pro. I was wondering if it is possible to use Gmail as my outgoing SMTP server for notifications to other users? If so, would someone mind pushing me in the right direction? I don't have the slightest idea of how to make this work.
    If Gmail does not work, what are some other solutions people have used in order to send email notifications out to users? Thank you in advance.

    If so, this is not needed. Use the MobileMe account preset and the incoming and outgoing mail servers will be set up automatically.

  • Can I set my iCloud email as the outgoing mail server for my google apps email account in Mac Mail?

    I have a google apps email account from an old client, all my work emails have been going to it for years. As I'm no longer affiliated with this client I'd like to make a transition to using my iCloud account for work. I asked people to use my iCloud address but as they've been using my google apps address for years it's what automatically comes up when they type my name.
    I figure the easiest way to make a transition is if I reply to all the emails that arrive at my old address from my iCloud address and gradually they will start using my new address without realising it. But I can't find a simple way to do this.
    In Mac Mail preferences > accounts > Google IMAP (my old account name) > Account information > Outgoing Mail server (SMTP) I'd like to set my iCloud SMTP server. But although my iCloud account uses its own outgoing mail server for its own account , it is not in the server list when I select my google account. I've tried to add it to the server list as smtp.mail.me.com but it caused my whole iCloud account to give me error messages until I force quit Mail...
    Any ideas?

    In iCloud/Mail, have you tried going to Preferences (select with gear at lower left)/Composing and setting a Send from address there?

  • Can't switch the primary outgoing mail server for Gmail?

    I recently got an iPad and went to set up my two Gmail accounts exactly how I have them set up on my iPhone: Gmail Account #1 is my original one, and Gmail Account #2 was linked to it later to utilize its outgoing server (so messages sent from #1 look like they're coming from #2).
    On the iPhone, I switched off #1's primary outgoing server and selected #2's. Very simple, very easy.
    But on the iPad, when I go to switch off #1's outgoing server, the only option I have available afterwards is to click 'Cancel' - it won't let me turn it off and select another one!
    The problem seems exclusive to Gmail, as my Yahoo account doesn't have this issue.
    I have a feeling it's an iOS7 glich... I have iOS7 on the iPad, but not on my iPhone. Everything else is set up exactly the same between the two devices. I've tried deleting both accounts and re-activiating, I've tried manually setting them up instead of using Apple's pre-selected system... nothings seems to work.
    Anyone?

    The issue isn't getting the accounts online - both accounts are added and working. The issue is that Gmail forces me to use the primary outgoing server for their respective accounts - I can't switch it off and select another from that drop-down list like I can with my iPhone.
    I am able to switch ON the outgoing server for #2, but the problem is that when I slide the primary server to "off" - the "DONE" button in the top right remains gray and unclickable. Strangely this is not the case for Yahoo - I can select an outgoing server on that account at will.

  • Mail Server "Type" and Mail Server "Address" for Incoming & Outgoing Mail

    First, the only browser I use is Mozilla's Firefox, the best browser hands down. Second, I have both a Yahoo email account and a Google "gmail" account that I use regularly (daily). I am trying to set up a mail washing program to rid myself of these ridiculous spammers & scammers, however I need to the the Incoming & Outgoing mail server "type" & "address" to do this and I seem to have guessed the yahoo settings, but I can't seem to get the Google gmail account set up properly. Yahoo settings that worked are: Server Type="POP3" and Server Address="pop.mail.yahoo.com", with advanced settings: Secure Authentication=Required, Secure Connection (SSL)=Required, Store Cached Emails=Yes, Server Port Number=995 (set), Pipelining=Enabled. The equivalent settings for the Google gmail account result in an error message = "Failed to log into POP3 Server". Of course user name & password triple checked, Type=POP3, Address=pop.mail.gmail.com, and , Address="pop.gmail.com" tried also, Port and other settings the same. Where can I find this info for both accounts? Tanks a million! -jw

  • Outgoing Mail Server(SMTP)

    Does anyone know what the host name for the outgoing mail server is suppose to be, right now I have it listed as smtp1.attglobal.net, but it's saying cannot send out mail the connection to the outgoing server smtp1.attglobal.net failed. Can anyone give me the correct outgoing server.
    Jeff

    Try this first:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/mailhelper/
    The Outgoing mail server depends on who your email provider is. You can usually get information on the provider's web site for settings, or check the settings on your computer; they will generally be the same. HOWEVER, if your ISP is your email provider they may not allow use of their outgoing mail server unless you are connected to their network. In this case you would be able to send mail connected to your home wireless network, but no from other wireless networks or using EDGE on the phone.
    If this is your situation you have several options:
    1. For EDGE use only, use cwmx.com as the outgoing mail server, no user id or password. This will not work when connected via a WiFi network.
    2. Create a gmail account and use their server; this requires user id and password.
    3. Us a paid SMTP site (e.g., godaddy.com)

  • Outgoing mail server using Mail is no good?  Have anything to do with iCloud?

    I think after I switched over to iCloud - though I don't know why that would affect Mail - I now, can't get any messages to send.  Outgoing mail server is bad.  But I use the connection doctor and it says all is fine (green light).  Any help?!

    When you enable Mail from the iCloud prefpane, iCloud automatically sets up Mail App for iCloud. There are occassional bugs in iCloud servers for me too. Uncheck Mail in the pref pane, delete the iCloud account from Mail and restart. After restart, again enable Mail in the iCloud pref pane. It should work now.

  • HT4597 who is the incoming and outgoing mail server?

  • HT201320 What is incoming and outgoing mail server and server port number

    What is incoming and outgoing mail server and server port number

    See applenerd504 previous reply:
    These specifications that allow you to send and receive messages on your iPhone. If you are using iCloud Mail, Gmail, or another service listed in the selector in settings, they should be automatically configured. If not, you may need to look up certain numbers for your email service.
    Putting it in slightly different terms:
    If you are using a web-mail system like gmail (with a gmail email address) all the mail sending, receiving and management is done on Google servers. In these cases you will only need to have a working internet connection to be able to log in to the service to access its data. 
    Supplying mail sever names and port numbers should only be needed if you are using a traditional (non-web) email account where you are accessing the mail servers directly. This would be typical for a email account set up by someone like your ISP (Internet Service Provider), in these cases you will have to ask them for the appropriate settings.

  • Trying to add my thunderbird work email account to my new iphone, how do I find my "incoming mail server" and "outgoing mail server" host names?

    Got a new Iphone 6 and I need to add my work thunderbird email account onto the phone. It is asking me for the host name of my incoming and outgoing mail server and I have no idea what this means- please help!

    First off there is no such thing as a Thunderbird email account. Email providers issue email accounts and Thunderbird is email client software and not a provider.
    You can look at the server settings in Thunderbird to see the settings it is using or you could get a list from your provider.
    In Thunderbird go to the menu bar and select Tools-Account Settings-Server Settings to see the Inbound settings and Tools-Server Settings-Outbging Server(SMTP) for Outbound settings.
    No menu bar with Tools showing? Press the alt key.
