Using/Setting up a e-mail Account on iPod Touch

I have been able to setup and use my yahoo email on my iPod Touch but I am trying to do the same with my msn/hotmail email. How do I set this up and how can I obtain the the information from Microsoft for this to work? Any help on this matter would be appreciated.
Thanks

Microsoft chose not to use the industry standard POP or IMAP protocol when developing MSN and Hotmail. So, I'm sorry to tell you that a free Hotmail or MSN account will not work with the iPod. However, if you decide to pay a fee to Microsoft, they will upgrade your account so that you'd be able to use your Hotmail account as POP.

  • Tried setting up my verizon e-mail account on iPod Touch, 4th generation. Am able to send out e-mail messages but none of my e-mails on my Mac show up in the inbox. Just get the "Checking for Mail" endlessly.

    On the iOS array of devices, you need to make sure all of the settings are right. I have found an official Verizon webpage for setting it up on Apple devices right here:

  • Problem syncing updated Mail accounts to iPod Touch

    I updated all my Mail accounts to IMAPs, but iTunes still syncs the old POP account information to the Touch. So when using Mail on my iPod Touch, the settings are old from POP, and on my Mac, Mail is perfectly fine with new IMAP settings. How can I make iTunes realize that those POP settings do not exist anymore and all my accounts are now IMAPs and to sync them to the Touch accordingly?

    Thank you both for the suggestion but..., the information that HerelsTom is suggesting, and the website that IIIaass is sharing a link too, I have already tried, (it was the first thing I found and tried). I reorganized the photos in the order I want by re-saving each photo in order so the Date Modified would be in descending order, and the order that I wanted, but it didn't work.
    Should I go to the Apple store and ask?

  • How can I change my Primary E-mail account on Ipod touch?

    I only have 2 emails both have the same name only the end is different 1) @aol.com 2) @icloud.com.  My primary e-mail address was always @aol.com and now it is on @icloud.com.  I just need to know how I can change my Primary E-Mail  account to be AOL again.  Does it have anything to do with when I charge my ipod?  Sometime I charge it to My Computer and other times to icloud.  Also does the e-mail account have anything to do with the Primary Server for my mail.

    - Just what do you mean by prinary email account? Maybe this will help
    Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID
    - It has nothing to do with charging your iPod. Yu said " Sometime I charge it to My Computer and other times to icloud.". What do you mean chargiing to iCloud?
    - Each mail account uses in Settings>Mail has a primary server for sending mail and that server is the server associated with that account. Secondard sending servers are other ssending servers for other mail account yo have ins Settings>Mail

  • Something I discovered when trying to set up my Mobile Me account to ipod touch 2nd gen

    I went to set up my mobile me account on my ipod touch 2nd gen and shows the option of Find my iPod. Will the find my iphone work??? I did set up an iCloud because I got an iPhone 4s today.

    Hi jcole,
    Just wanted to let you know that I did a little looking around, and the Find My iPhone app that you see under your MobileMe account on your iPod was an app that worked with MobileMe, so it is still there, but it really doesn't do anything anymore. Back in the day, you would have logged on to www.me.com to get to a map which would show your location. Today, if you were to type me.com into the URL bar, you get redirected to iCloud.com....
    So, just wanted to give you an update on what it is (I found it interesting - didn't know that the "Find My" capability was there before iCloud).
    Cheers,

  • How do I set up a POP mail account to use a different outgoing SMTP port?

    How do I set up a POP mail account to use a different outgoing SMTP port? on Maverick O/Sx. Cannot see option to use 2 different ports?

    In Mail>Preferences>Accounts tab>Account Information tab - from the 'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):' drop-down menu select 'Edit SMTP Server List...', choose the server you want to edit from those listed, click on the Advanced tab. Does that give you the option you're after?

  • How do I set up a new mail account on my iMac?

    Hello everyone,
    I think I used to have a Mail account however I could not remember the password when I tried to turn it on. I decided to delete the account completely and to start again. How do I set up a new mail account with a new email address and a new password??
    I can see how you create a new mail account but it then asks for an email and password so that doesn't help. I really didn't think it would be a hassle!
    Thanks,
    W

    You first need to set up a new User Name and Password with your Internet Service Provider (ISP); that is, whoever provides you with Internet access, such as Comcast, AT&T, etc in the US.  Alternately you can go on the Internet and set up a new email Account with a new User Name and Password with a public company such as Google's "Gmail" or Microsoft's "Hotmail".  Once you have set up your new Account with them, THEN you enter that information into Apple's "Mail" for it to send and receive emails for your new outside Account.
    Hope this helps

  • Setting up multiple e-mail accounts

    I have iBook G4 using OS X. I've had it for over a year, but I've never set up multiple e-mail accounts, but now my kids are asking for their own e-mail addresses. There must be directions on how to do this somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Any help in steering me in the right directions would be greatly appreciated.
    Karen

    Hello Karen.
    You can create multiple email accounts with Mail with or without the same email account provider.
    With the same provider is possible only if each account has its own user name.
    You can create/access multiple email accounts that share the same incoming mail server and the same password as long as each account has its own user name.
    An account's user name is usually the portion of the email address in front of the @ sign only but with some providers it is the entire email address.
    Multiple email addresses with the same provider that share the same user name, incoming mail server and password as a primary email account are what is called an alias or aliases.
    An alias email address to a primary account/address can be accessed with Mail under the primary account but not as a separate account with Mail.
    If I haven't completely confused you, let me know.
    I agree with Matt and strongly suggest/recommend that you don't allow your kids (regardless their age) or anyone else regular access to your Mac under your computer login admin account.

  • How do I set up an e-mail account to go with iPhoto?

    How do I set up an e-mail account to go with iPhoto?

    Applications > Mail
    If you haven't set up a mail account, it will probably ask you if you want to set one up, but here's how I do it.
    Press command-, and that will take you to preferences.
    Up near the top click the "Accounts" tab
    Click the plus button that is located at the lower left corner.
    Enter your name, email address, and password.
    Click enter then click continue
    Set the account type to POP or IMAP. Whichever one you want is fine as long as it works with your email service.
    Don't change the next security settings. Click continue.
    Enter something for the description. Make sure that the "Use Athentication" checkbox is checked. Enter your password and click continue.
    Click continue you might have to go through one of the security settings again. Click continue.
    An account summary will come up. Click "Take account online". Then click create.

  • If the MS Exchange ActiveSync port had been changed, how to set up the iPad Mail account?

    Hi all,
    The default MS Exchange ActiveSync port is 443 but due to security reason it had been changed.
    Under this situation how to set up the iPad Mail account?
    I could not find out the port modification area in iPad account settings.
    Or any other apps are suitable for multiple accounts within 1 domain?
    That means i can use this app for more than 1 email accounts within 1 exchange server.
    I had tried eMailGanizer. It could allow you to modify the port number but if you need to send email you still need to set up the account in Apple mail first.
    I tried Outlook Mail but could not allow multiple accounts within 1 domain.
    I tried Mail Access 2010 but it could not display the emails in the server.
    Please help!
    Thanks a lot!

      using Outlook.com I just deleted an email
        by clicking the Trash icon that appears
          when hovering near an email subject
            in the list of emails.
    Then I clicked the Send/Receive button
      in Apple Mail.
    The email disappeared from the Inbox listing
      in Apple Mail.
    The email is listed in the Deleted Folder
      within Apple Mail.
    The email also appears in Outlook.com
      within the Deleted Folder
    I'm not seeing an equivalent operation in Outlook.com
      to perform the Erase Deleted items
        such as Apple Mail provides..
    There was momentarily a "Sweep to Delete"
      animation that appeared and is now gone..
    Pomme is correct.. by selecting "Erase Deleted Items"
      within Apple Mail does not clear the Deleted Folder
        when the email was first deleted using Outlook.com
    Now I'm seeing further synch problems in that deleting in Outlook.com
      The emails disappear from Apple Mail Inbox,
        but do not appear within the Apple Mail Deleted Folder..
          (as it did with the first message I deleted using Outlook.com)
    Yes.. there is some synchronizing problems..
    I just exited Apple Mail, and restarted it, synched
      and now all messages deleted from Outlook.com
        appear within Apple Mail Deleted Folder..
    For Outlook.com the equivalent operation to Erase Deleted Items
      Is to click the Trash icon next to the emails
        within the Deleted Folder..
    Moral of the story is for Apple Mail
      periodically select Erase Deleted Items
      and for Outlook.com
        periodically look in the Deleted Folder
          and delete those emails (that you already deleted)
            a second time..

  • Iphone 5...trouble setting up mutiple Yahoo mail accounts

    The Iphone 5 allowed me to set up 1 Yahoo mail account.
    When I tried to set up the secound it responds: "Yahoo sever unavailable".
    I am able to leave the setup, go to Safari, find Yahoo mail and sign in....so the server is up and running....there is something about the Iphone.
    any ideas?

    Strange.  I am also having problems setting up yahoo mail because I changed my password.  Everything was working before I did that.  There has been a yahoo problem on my iphone ever since I've had it.  The mail app is so darn slow.  Yahoo does have an app you can download and then drag it down onto the main dock at the bottom of your screen.  That's what I did until someone responds with a possible solution.  I also just emailed yahoo to let them know of the problem.  Like that matters!  LOL!  I've emailed them before about this and it takes them weeks to get back to me.  So ridiculous!
