IPhone :: Cannot Set Up Mail Account As POP - Only IMAP Allowed
Jun 1, 2012
My mail on my iPhone was set up fine as POP, I used my Mac to get mail and only the iPhone if I was away without the Mac, so it only downloaded email not received on the Mac yet. I had to change my password with my provider (Virgin Media) and my mail account on my iPhone wouldn't recognise it even though it was correct so I deleted the account to set it up again. However, it won't give me the option of POP, only IMAP and now it keeps downloading hundreds of old emails. I just want to go back to POP! I've seen sites which show how to set up a mail account and they say "now choose POP or IMAP" but my set up never gives me that choice, it just takes my settings, verifies them and sets it up as IMAP.
I bought an E7 two weeks ago and use the embedded mail programme with:
- Mail for Exchange Client (Job account) - IMAP G-Mail (Personal account) - IMAP GMX.net (Personal account)
Everything worked fine for one week, then my second IMAP-account (GMX) stopped syncing. In my browser I can see that there are unread messages in the account but the E7 does not download them.
I have a gmail account and email is currently being synced from my outlook to my iphone, but sent messages from my iphone are not being synced to my outlook. Do I need to enter an IMAP path prefix?
i would like to know, how it works with subfolders in imap and Mail app.Â
I created few subfolders in delivery post in outlook on my pc. When i recieve an email, outlook sort it to its folder and everything is ok. But when i refresh my email in Mail app, there is no mail... Only mails which stays in delivery post folder.Â
How can i set this to work? Must i have use another email app that can do it?Â
So my gmail address list or contacts seems to have been hacked and all my contacts who are still talking to me have told me so.So I changed my gmail password.No more complaints, and probably no more friends as contacts.Â
But seriously, I have been able to get gmail (web) working with my new double authentication password(s). Also, my outlook for MAC is working using the special "generated App Password". (because Outlook cannot do the double authentication thingie)Ditto for the gmail app from google on my iPhone. (it works too).BUT I cannot get the iPhone Mail App to connect to Gmail.
I have deleted (i thought) my existing gmail setup from my iPhone. When I try to re establish the gmail settings, using either the password generated by the MAC / iCloud keychain generator or the App password, I get the message "My Name" is already added.
It looks to me that there is something in the iPhone that matches my gmail address, even though I deleted the account.Â

I have a hotmail account and gmail account already on my phone which work fine. I am trying to add a different account using IMAP. The account receives mail but I cannot send any mail from it. The message says the recipient was rejected by the server.
I keep getting this message on my phone when I try to get my email: The username or password for imap.gmail.com is incorrect. It is correct. I can access it on my computer with ease. what gives?
What should I do to create an ordinary IMAP account with N97 S60 mail application? It used to be easy, but now the account setup is some kind of automated process - optimized for Ovi Mail, Gmail and such services. My email account surname is not my email address (fist.surname@gmail.com type) but something like "fisurnam". The result is that I give my password in vain, no connection established.
What should I do to create the account? It is also not clear, am I giving my password to Nokia service or is it going directly to the email account provider. This is an important thing as my work email password may not be given to anyone, not even to Nokia.
All of a sudden, my Alias mail account name is telling me that the password or account name is incorrect.So I go into SETTINGS as the button appears for it, and I hit it check all the settings and the settings are fine, nothing has changed. I have not had this problem in over 5 years! Is this a symptom of iCloud going full, taking over MobileMe? I cancelled my MM account 3 months back and have not had any problems. Why has this problems suddenly started appearing? I was looking at the mail in the ALIAS account from the alias account. Now I am looking at it through my main account, which is also reacting slowly due to this problem.
I have just got my Galaxy SII and i am trying to access my imap account on the virgin server. I have set up the account but when I try to synchronise, the samsung seems to go into a loop and although it says it is synchronising it justs runs for hours without any end result. There are quite a lot of e-mails on the server but they are all labelled as read except for the most recent dozen so I hope that the phone is not trying to download them all.
Why doesn't this feature exsist for IMAP servers that support PUSH in the latest iOS? Will it be added to iOS in the future, or is Apple not supporting it so you have to use Message or something else? It's quite anoying not being able to have my mail show up as fast as it does on my Windows email client using push on my IMAP account. My first experience emailing on an iOS device is that it's a bit stone age with IMAP support. Change this, and I'll be more likely to buy Apple products again in the future , if not, I will be ditching it

I am using a Nokia N97 with the v21 firmware. I am connecting to a mail server via IMAP, using the phone's mail client (not mail for exchange). This has previously worked perfectly, however now I cannot update my inbox and view the emails. When I try to update the inbox, I get a dialogue box that says "Website has sent an untrusted certificate". After choosing "allow permanently", the inbox does not update. The message comes up every time I try to update (even when I've previously chosen "allow permanently".
I can however successfully send emails via the SMTP server using the phone (IMAP for sending is restricted, so have to use SMTP). Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening, and how I can solve it? I've also contacted the IT guys for the mail server, as I'm not sure whether the problem lies with the mail server or the phone, or both.
I have set-up my email account using IMAP. I am using the IMAP path prefix of INBOX as I use on my old iPhone and on the email client on my laptop, but the Samsung email client does not seem to recognise it. When I delete an email it is reloaded the next time it sync with the server.
I have an S2, running latest firmware and cannot add my IMAP account to it. I have my gmail, hotmail and exchange accounts setup fine. But when I try to do the IMAP account, I enter the login details, server etc., and when it tries to test the incoming side of things it force quits. I've rebooted etc.
I just did a software update on my S5 and now my IMAP q.com email account only updates like 2 times a day even when the settings are set for every 30 minutes. It won't sync when I press the refresh button. My work IMAP email works fine.
Right after the ICS update to my D4, my IMAP email stopped receiving emails. I kept getting an error saying "username or password incorrect." I tried rebooting the phone and deleting/recreating the email account but I still get the same message. I didn't change the password to my email account in the 30-40 minutes it took to update my phone.
I cannot log into the mail, I fill out everything and it tells me either username or password is incorrect but I know it is not. Then I go into google to verify and it works.
I am using mail with a gmail account. The bottom of the screen has an icon in the middle that looks like a box. If I accidentally click that icon the email goes into it never to be seen again.what this is and where the email goes?
iPhone 4S. My e-mail service provider is Embarq. I am receiving e-mails, but I cannot SEND/REPLY to e-mails. I get message that recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying.
Have a Mac lap top, desk top, and ipad. Just got and iphone, but cannot get my mail account started on that, because for the love of all things beautiful and simple, cannot remember my email account password.
Would one of you tech savvy persons be able to direct me on how to retrieve or change my mail account password (using other) its a .mac email address.
My iPhone 4s randomly says "the ID or password for ______ mail account is incorrect. Cannot get mail." my ID and password were NOT changed and are working fine on my desktop and iPad. This has happened for a mail account at AT&T before and now today for a gmail account. Reentering the ID and password in settings doesn't solve the problem. Still can't get mail.
I have two e-mail accounts on iPhone, and need to delete the business e-mail. Seems simple, but the RED DELETE Account button is no longer an option.Â
I have my Gmail account set up on my iPhone as Exchange, to get push email. The issue I am having:In my Gmail account settings, I have it set to send mail using only my initials, so that when I send a message to someone they will only see (A J) for example. When sending emails from my browser in gmail, this works fine. If I go to my iPhone, and send a response to an email thread, it will send from my full name. Any emails that I send from my iPhone automatically show my full name. Is there some type of account setting for this? I don't want it to use my full name when I send email from the phone. I have looked everywhere and don't see any setting for this. I have also called Apple support and they have no idea.
