Will iPad Air support IMAP e-mail server

I have an iPod whereupon my Sky IMAP e-mail account works fine, I am close to buying the new iPad Air, but read many off putting comments about IMAP e-mail not working with iOS7 within the support communities forum?
Can you advise according please
Kind regards

I use Mail+ (the app JimHdk linked to) to access my work exchange mail via the web exchange portal our company runs (at work I just use Outlook, as my work machine is a Win7 box).  It works quite well and the developer is very active in adding improvements and enhancements as well as being very responsive to questions.
If your Outlook mail is accessible via an Outlook Web page, it is one possible alternative.  For me it means I have my work email on my personal iPhone and iPad without having to accept and live with our IT security settings in place on my own devices.

    How much RAM will Ipad Air have and will it be sufficent?

    Its just apple tend to give their devices the minimum RAM they can as a sort of a limiting factor, ive had my Ipod touch 4 for 3 years now and its virtually useless now because of the lack of RAM they put in them and i dont want to be paying over 600 pound for something thats not going to run good apps after two years because theres not enough RAM.
    Well, any mobile computing device you buy is technically obsolete within a year or less of being released - for any company's products that's true.  And with all of these all-solid state devices, you cannot update the RAM or the storage, so they basically remain useable and supported as long as they do - there really is nothing you can do to avoid that sort of situation.  Smart phones and tablets are evovling at an almost frenetic pace, so nothing in that arena is going to be compatible with the operating systems and apps of newer future devices for very long.
    You can maintain your own device's usability for longer by making sure to keep backups of apps & versions of apps that you know do run on your device so you will not be left behind if an App store update drops support for your device and removes the older app version.
    And as far as iOS devices, I don't agree that Apple only installs the minimum RAM.  The amount of RAM is going to be based on a number of factors - the capability of the mobile cpu being used, the footprint of iOS and the built in functions, the typical RAM usage of known iOS 3rd party apps, the size of battery(s) available to fit in the space available, the added cost of additional RAM and any number of additional parameters.  In a device like a tablet or smart phone, every single component that goes into them involves some trade off or compromise.

  • Mail: Proper way to adjust IMAP/SMTP mail server entries?

    Please forgive, but I am still on 10.4 (Tiger) with an iCloud mail account. I believe this is still a widely applicable and helpful question!
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server):
         MINE IS STILL:      mail.me.com  (Currently still working fine)
         Advised/required:     imap.mail.me.com
    SMTP (Outgoing mail server):
         MINE IS STILL:          smtp.me.com  (Currently still working fine)
         Advised/required:      smtp.mail.me.com
    QUESTION 1: To have the server entries set properly, can I simply make textual changes in the Incoming/Outgoing server name fields for my IMAP iCloud mail account (via insert of word "mail" in server names; change is not shown here)...
    ...or should one DELETE IMAP ACCOUNT (as I have commonly read!) and recreate with all new correct settings? If it is advisable to Delete the account, why wouldn't just making the quick server name adjustments be sufficient?
    Also, I need some fears assuaged:
    - "Deleting an IMAP mail account" in Mail has no risk/danger of losing/deleting all of your Sent and Received Inbox/Sentbox contents, correct? When you recreate an Account, all of your mail held on server is still fully safe and accessible, yes?
    ISSUE TWO:
    I like to use both my "me.com" and "mac.com" email addresses.
    Under "Edit (Outgoing) Server List," I still have a secondary older entry "smtp.mac.com" listed.
    QUESTION 2: Is the following statement of my understanding accurate?
    "Deletion of the smtp.mac.com outgoing server is completely acceptable and would not prohibit sending of email under mac.com email address because the "mac.com" email address is an alias for the me.com address and ALL mail (whether sent with mac.com or me.com email address) goes out through the ME.COM server."
    Is that correct. If not, kindly advise!
    I really appreciate the help.
    I am not a beginning Mac user and find that the complete configuration intricacies of Apple Mail (I know that's the old name) are one thing that users are never really guided to master and comprehend.
    Many thanks in advance!

    These are the settings recomended by Apple.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 993
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 587
    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password
    Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead.

  • I can no longer speak and woud like to use my Ipad Air 2 WiFi   Cellular to serve as a texting device to replace my phone.  Will using my cell number and Talkatone allow me to text and receive text as I do on my phone?

    A laryngectomy has left me unable to speak over my cell.  I still need to communicate via text and would like to use one device.  I have an Ipad Air 2 WiFi + Cellular that I use to write messages on and would like to know if adding the ap Talkatone and using my cell number will allow me to use my Ipad as my one communication device and not have to carry my phone any more.

        hedrickwireless1,
    I am so sorry to hear that you have lost your voice. I know how important it is still be able to communicate. I apologize as the application Talkatone is a third party application we would not be able to provide details into how the application functions. Please reach out to the app developer for details regarding the application. You can access the developer information under the application details in iTunes.

  • IPad Air crashes intermittently reading mail

    My iPad Air 128 crashes intermittently with several different accounts.
    I will tap on a message, read it, then tap the next message, read it, then tap the next and it crashes out of mail.
    It does not always crash on the 3rd message, as it could crash on any message.
    and it could crash with my iCloud account, or aol, or comcast, or gmail, or a university imap, or exchange account. I see no pattern.
    It seems to crash sooner if I read the messages faster, but going slower does not guarantee no crashes.
    I Have already quit all other apps, reset the iPad, backed up and restored the iPad, added back accounts one at a time, etc., and all other gyrations of things to do.
    IS is there a solution to this? My iPad 2 never had this problem.

  • Will iPad Air 2's touch ID fingerprint sensor recognize 2 authorized fingerprints?

    My wife and share use of an iPad 1. We're considering upgrading to a shared iPad Air 2, but am concerned about the touch ID fingerprint sensing function.  Will the function be able to record and allow use of 2 authorized fingerprints - my wife's and mine?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5883 referenced in Star Traveler's Apple Support document (Touch ID security) gives the really useful answer to my question ... assuming the iPad Air 2's Touch ID operates the same as the iPhone's Touch ID.  The "Using Touch ID on iPhone" Apple Support document tells how to configure up to 5 different fingers to have their prints to be recognized as legit, while the "Touch ID security" Apple Support document makes only passing reference to multiple fingerprints being recognized.

    I have been a microsoft user most of my life.  I have decided to buy an ipad air and I need to know whether its word programme will convert to both .doc and docx
    There is no Word program for the iPad.  Microsoft hasn't made one.  But Pages can read and write most Word files:

  • When will ipad air 2 be hitting indian stores??????

    i have been waiting for ipad air 2. if anybody can tell when it will be available in india

    Last Year iPad Air was Launched in US on 1st November, 2013. But it launched in India on 7th December,2013. The Pricing of iPad Air wasn't announced officially till mid-end November.
    This Year, the Pricing of iPad Air 2 was announced on the first day itself, and even the iPhone 6,6 Plus launched Earlier in India compared to Previous iPhones.
    Considering these things, I Believe It won't be too Long.
    I Guess 7th November or 14th November 2014, could be the Official Launch Date in India.
    Though there are some other factors to consider:- Due to Anti-Reflective Coating, the Manufacturing of iPad Air 2 is Slower and hence stocks could be limited.
    Hope it Launches Soon. BTW it'll be in news everywhere when it does.
