What are iCloud email other SMTP servers?

I went to Settings<Mail, Contacts<iCloud account<Account<Mail<SMTP. What do "other SMTP" servers do. One of those is a gmail server. What does it mean?

I've had a similar lack of success on my iPhone 3G. There are three ways in which this has failed:
• I've carefully copied the SMTP settings from a working Mail.app account, but the iPhone 3G consistently tells me that the account cannot be verified, which prevents it from being added to my list of SMTP servers.
• I've also tried syncing mail accounts using iTunes, which just causes iTunes to hang.
• Lastly, I set my personal email address (personal web domain) to use the SMTP server for a gmail account. This will send the email, but it appears to the recipient as coming from the gmail address, NOT from the personal address.
In all three cases, iPhone's SMTP behavior has proved to be completely unacceptable. I may be returning my iPhone in the near future.

How delete 'Other SMTP Servers' from email account?

In trying to figure out how to SEND email using my iPhone 3G I changed some port settings, according to Comcast. In the end doing this added a bunch of 'Other SMTP Servers.' I've deleted one of my email accounts and re-set it up, to no avail. The INCOMING port number keeps setting up its own number and I cannot change it to 110, as it should be, so I cannot receive email on theis account. Everytime I change it to 110 it automatically changes itself back to other numbers (587, 99?) when I exit and try to retrieve email. I've synced my iPhone with my pc...didn't work.
So, I need to know how to change my INCOMING port setting to 110 and keep it that way, delete multiple 'Other SMTP Servers' listed within any of my email accounts, and also how do I SEND email while outside the home (I can send email fine when I'm home using my wireless router)?

Same problem. Every time I add a new account its smtp server details are added to the list of available servers, even if exactly the same details already exist in the list. I now have three identical smtp servers listed.
Discovered this when having smtp connection refused problems after adding three different email domain addresses that I use with the same service provider - the first one is ok, the other two always fail smtp connection. The smtp details for all accounts are exactly the same, which works perfectly well when using Mail on my MacPro machine, but not it appears on my iPhone.
I can delete the troublesome accounts on my iPhone (have not yet figured out why all three work fine together on my MacPro machine but not on the iPhone) but, there does not seem to be a way of deleting duplicated or unwanted smtp information from the iPhone. Regarding ports, I use port 25 for sending on all 3 accounts, but I did notice that the iPhone setup automatically chose 587, which although legit does not appear to work.
Any suggestions?

Duplicate Identical Other SMTP Servers

Like others that have posted I have duplicate entries for an IMAP account I have setup on my iPhone.
1. Why do I have duplicate entries showing up under Other SMTP Servers?
2. Are they all required.
3. If not, how do I get rid of the duplicates?
Thanks,
G

What are Microsoft- or other's-best practice or recommendation of Disk usage, CPU usage, memory usage monitoring to prevent system trouble ?

We use win2003,win2008,win2012 servers.
I heard somewhere that Microsoft recommendation threshold of disk usage monitoring is ( free disk space >= 15- 20 %) , if I remember correctly, but how about CPU usage and memory usage monitoring ?

1-Do some more reading about a Windows "upgrade version" which, according to my experience, does NOT require you to format your drive... it upgrades over what you have, without disturbing installed programs... at least that is what happened the ONE time I installed an upgrade version, so I can't give a 100% assurance it will work that way with your computer... search link for all things Microsoft http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US
2-Depending on the hardware you have, you may not be able to run CC programs well, if at all
3-CS6 is 3+ years old and is the ONLY non-CC version still being sold... unless you can find a "legal" CS5 somewhere

Ios can not send emails anymore SMTP-servers are offline...

since I have ios i have trouble with the mail account. it very often says SMTP-servers are offline... and I have to restart the computer and sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.
What can I do to solve this
thanks

Are you having trouble on an iPhone or iPad (which uses iOS) or on a computer? If you're having trouble on an iOS device, what does turning off your computer have to do with this? Which iPhone? Which version of iOS? Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? Have you tried deleting the email account and adding it back?

Can't send email with SMTP servers

Not sure if I have the right SMTP server but I'm using mail.1xbell.ca and have also tried smtp.bellaliant.net. I can receive fine but can't send. It just times out. Tried it on 3G and WIFI.
I'm using Aliant in Newfoundland, Canada for my email and the phone is with Telus. The tech dude at Aliant wouldn't tell be dick all because the phone is with another carrier even though my email is with Aliant.
Any suggestions in getting this fixed?

If the email account provider for the email account is not the internet service provider associated with the wi-fi network your iPhone is connected to at the time and the email account provider for the email account does not have an authenticated SMTP server, you won't be able to send with the account - unless you have access to the ISP's SMTP server being used for your internet connection at the time.
As already provided, most if not all ISPs block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of the ISP's network or that isn't provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time unless the SMTP server is authenticated.
A MobileMe account is my primary email account which has an authenticated SMTP server and I've never had a single problem sending with the account from my iPhone over the last 3 years regardless my internet connection at the time - various wi-fi networks with different associated ISPs or when connected to AT&T's cellular network.
Having an account with an authenticated SMTP server is the key.

Mail to blocked SMTP server stalls mails to other SMTP servers

Hi,
I have a particularly weird problem.
In Mail.app I have a Mobile Me account, a personal IMAP account and an Exchange account (working over IMAP etc. as it's Exchange server 2003 so I don't get all the fruity Snow Leopard/Exchange goodness).
The problem I have is this- in the office they block access to external SMTP servers (quite rightly).
If I send a mail through my Mobile Me or personal IMAP account and forget to tell it to use the internal work SMTP server then Mail.app will sit forever trying to connect to the external SMTP server and never time out (or if it does timeout it must be more than a few hours).
This isn't a huge problem in and of itself. However from this point on any mail I send will sit behind the stalled e-mail in the queue and never go out- so even my internal mails hang around not sending.
The only indication of this is the non-stop spinning wheel on the sent items folder and the never-ending 'Connecting to smtp.me.com' in the activity window.
The only way to resolve this is to go to the activity window and cancel all connections to the offending SMTP server. At that point the 'Outbox' folder will appear in my folder list and show me all of the e-mails it hasn't sent. I then have to open each one individually and click send again, at which point they go out (provided they still have the correct internal SMTP server selected).

Ernie,
Thanks for the response. I have previously seen Mail.app fail to send and bring the message back up telling me this- but that usually happens quite some time after trying to send, if at all, and I don't recall ever having this error happen in the office (where they are blocking these ports).
I have had similar issues when travelling and trying to send through hotel networks that typically block port 25- even then I rarely get a failure message (note that this has been happening both on 10.5.x and my clean install of 10.6.x)
I did check to see if the network here was doing some spoofing on SMTP ports but it isn't;
#####:~ #####$ time telnet smtp.me.com 25
Trying 17.148.16.31...
telnet: connect to address 17.148.16.31: Operation timed out
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
real 1m15.019s
user 0m0.002s
sys 0m0.003s
I get the same 1m15s timeout on port 465 & 587, yet Mail.app never seems to give up trying.
I tried sending to an external SMTP server without SSL to see if the behaviour was any different- but after 15 mins it's still trying so I guess not.
Weird.

What are the options other than iCloud for a "full" iPone backup?

With iCloud you have limited options to increase the size of the capacity for backups:
5gb - Free
20gb - .99/month
200gb - 3.99/month
500gb - 9.99/moth
1TB - 19.99/month
With such a big gap between 20gb and 200gb, I am looking for feedback on other cloud options other than iCloud that will backup everything on my new iPhone 6.
Thank you

Managing the backup of your phone starts with knowing what is backed up, what is NOT, backed up and how to manage your data/phone content.
What is NOT backed up to icloud:
Apps, music, and any other iTunes purchase.
What IS backed up to icloud:
your personal information, settings and data
if you open settings, icloud, storage, manage storage, show all apps.
this shows your app data amounts in decending order. You can turn off backup for any app that doesn't need iCloud backup. For example, I use Dropbox which auto uploads all my photo and video when I connect to home wifi, so I do not backup camera roll, so I turn the switch off. I do backup data from other apps, but not all of them.
I backup an iPad and iPod touch to the same iCloud account with the 5 free GBS and have not needed more than that.

TS3899 what are the email account settings for att.yahoo

At the same time on the same day my iMac, iPhone and iPad all stopped sending and recieving email....I can connect to att web mail and get email but my mac products quick working....what gives?

Did you know the servers have changed;
SBC Yahoo Email & News Server Info
To set up your email client (not webmail) to use the newest "New and Improved" secure access:
1. Open your email client program.
2. Locate the email account settings for your particular client.
3. Change or set the POP (incoming) server to
inbound.att.net.
4. Change the SMTP (outgoing) server to
outbound.att.net.
5. For inbound email, connect securely over the standard
POP3 SSL
port: 995. Use username and password. Do not use "Secure Password
Authentication".
6. For outbound email, connect securely over the standard
SMTP SSL
port: 465. Use the same credentials as for the inbound email.

What are the names of the servers of "Yahoo!"?

Hi everybody!
I would like to use Mail to access my yahoo! e-mail account and they ask me to set up the incoming and outcoming servers. The problem is that I don't know for sure what I must enter in the spaces...
Could somebody who has already done the steps tell for me the name of the two servers for a Yahoo! account?
Thank you!

Yahoo does not support IMAP access to its mail servers. It offers web mail access for all accounts, & supports POP3 access for Yahoo Mail Plus accounts. Instructions for configuring the Plus version for POP access are available from Yahoo support, or by Googling that name. You must configure both your Plus account at Yahoo & your client app.

Primary and Other SMTP servers

I must be missing something here since I cannot believe anyone could have actually thought this a good idea.
How can I change the Primary SMTP server?
No, I don't mean edit the details, but specify one of the other servers as the Primary. The one currently entered as Primary is no longer required to be that and I want to 'promote' one of the other servers to be the Primary, but the ONLY way I can see to accomplish this is to actually edit the Primary details and create a new 'Other' server. If so, this is such appallingly bad design it beggars belief. Obviously all servers should be stored identically, with a simple flag to specify which is the Primary. Have Apple really been so stupid?
Can anyone point out to me where I am wrong and explain how to change the Primary Server?
