Re: [MacGroup] .mac mail issues
A little bit of progress: I got it working on the iPhone. On the laptop I am stuck at step (3) below, so I'm calling Apple for support. Thanks for your help.

[MacGroup] .mac mail issues
I have had a dot-mac email address since 2002, but for the last few months I have only been able to fetch that mail on my iPad, not on my MacBook Pro or on my iPhone. The iPad apparently offers no user-defined filtering, so the amount of spam coming through makes the account basically unusable. I changed the password to 10 characters including numbers and upper and lower case and no dictionary words. This made no difference at all. On the MBP, Mail.app's Connection Doctor says iCloud IMAP is connected, but iCloud POP says, Trying to log into the iCloud POP account failed. Verify that the username and password are correct. They are correct. iPhone 3GS also says, The user name or password for .mac POP is incorrect. But it isn't. Anyone have ideas before I tackle Oxmoor and the Genius Bar? All devices are fully updated: 10.7.4 for the MBP, iOS 5.1.1 for the iPad and iPhone. Many thanks, Alex ___ MacGroup mailing list MacGroup@erdos.math.louisville.edu http://www.math.louisville.edu/mailman/listinfo/macgroup

Could you explain more fully, please? IMAP seems to already be there and I have no idea how to get rid of POP.
