Re: Apple iMail Help
Mail app on Apple is just a general email client, you use that client to connect to an actual mail server. Who is your email provider? I would go to their site and look up how to configure other mail clients.
Unless, I don't understand your question. Scratch all that, I misunderstood. Others provided a good answer. Last edited by kickerb; 08-30-2011 at 10:06 AM. |

You need to turn on IMAP in your gmail settings first.

Peter,
Gmail: -In your web browser, log into your gmail account -Click on the picture of the gear in the top right corner of the screen, next to your account name. This will bring down a menu, choose "Account Settings" -Fifth option from the left on the account settings is "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" -Enable POP or IMAP as appropriate and click on the "configure your email client" link for configuration instructions in the appropriate section for a link to how to set up Apple Mail. Yahoo: -Send them money for "Yahoo Plus" so you can download your mail and get additional functionality that amounts to about 1/3 of what Gmail already does for free. (Free Yahoo accounts can't do POP or IMAP) |

Re: Apple iMail Help
Yahoo mail does not play well with others.

Re: Apple iMail Help
Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Looks like gmail will work.
I'm considering ditching TimeWarner/Roadrunner which I have had for 30 years. Posted via Mobile Device |
