An iPhone 3 g is too old to manage IMAP e-mail?

Is the iPhone 3GS 'too old' for IMAP?

I help an old friend of 83 who lives two States away. She contacted me about two problems with the e-mail on his iPhone 3 g (model A1303). She has an e-mail account with Comcast, and FWIW, the Comcast account is his only email.

The first problem was that she could receive but not send email with his phone. The second problem involved his attempt to move from POP3 to IMAP. The ISP had recently sent him a message encouraging their customers to move from POP3 to IMAP.

We made the switch to IMAP with her other mobile device (a Kindle Fire first edition), but she has not had any luck on his iPhone. In his attempt, she has deleted inadvertently his iPhone Comcast e-mail account. She took the phone to his local AT & T store, where a technician put it nicely back. Now she can receive and send messages on the phone, but IMAP remains elusive. She asked the guy from AT & T on IMAP, and he told her that her phone is too old.

Really...?

All iPhones of any age can handle IMAP, iCloud is actually a system iCloud himself.

  • ICloud sync broken between Yosemite (too old for El Capitan) Mac and iOS9.3 on devices, for all Apple applications. Any solution?

    Since that is new iPad and iPhone one last week, with iOS 9.3.4, I can't rely on iCloud (iCloud Drive) for synchronization between these devices and my iMac on docs or entries that I create in Pages, Numbers, calendar, Contacts, Notes, reminders.

    With no synchronization goes, I am now frustrated with Apple based applications.  The only solution is to buy a new iMac that can do El Capitan for iCloud to synchronize?

    My 2008 iMac cannot go beyond the latest version of Yosemite.  Even apps that I continue to use without problems - except iCloud who can't do what it should.  According to me, only yosemite on the iMac in 2008, was made bankrupt by the last iOS.

    That's the problem - unless someone has found a workaround.  Without a functional iCloud, sync that I've been waiting for has disappeared.  I need to change how to manage what I do on the devices and the computer.

    I would like to find a way to "merge" safe documents created in these applications on both devices and the computer. Initially a merger will have duplicates.  I can't let the docs on any device replace the docs on the other.

    To avoid any loss of docs on any device and computers, I'm afraid to try to use iTunes.  So I won't try it.  Maybe I need to go "manual" and look at the files on each and do the merge manually, by sending an e-mail.  Help!  I discovered this by accident and now that I look closer I see that synchronization does not occur.

  • My MacBook Pro is too old to run the latest version of the Adobe Creative Cloud?

    Hi people,

    I downloaded a demo of Illustrator a few weeks ago and it kept crashing.

    One of my colleagues has suggested that my computer is perhaps too old already...

    But I got more ready-made creative cloud in 2012. And I think that I abandoned it in 2014.

    Maybe my laptop can't handle the current version? I also wonder if it cannot even manage the last update of macOS... been a little slow since I upgraded.

    Here are the specs:

    Thank you for your time!

    It makes sense to buy one that suits at the time where you can afford.

    Be aware that office creative Cloud such as Photoshop and Illustrator won't work on the iPad Pro. The iPad Pro works mobile operating system from Apple iOS, so it will only work the cloud of mobile applications.

    It cannot run any desktop cloud that require Apple's OS X operating system.

    A well specified MacBook Pro will give good service and run applications such as Photoshop and Illustrator Office...

  • My mac is too old for Xcode 7?

    Hi guys,.

    I am new to xcode, so don't know if this post on the dev forums or here - I would like to know if this belongs here.

    I recently installed xcode 7 on my mid-2009 MBP 2.53 GHz/4 GB of RAM, that's already in El Capitan. I find that I have to wait minutes for the Simulator to appear and then restore the application (I'm new so everything I do now takes over buttons and screens of the empty application).

    Is my machine simply too old, or is there something I can do to speed things along?

    Thank you!

  • Re: Is my Win XP too old for Satellite Pro L20

    Hi guys

    This is the first time on a forum, so please be nice.
    I'm trying to re - install the OS on my toshiba Satellite Pro L20 and chipset specifications requires:

    Windows * XP 5.10.2600 (original version)

    I have Windows XP home 2002 which seems to be 5.1.2600.

    I've never done this before and I'm trying to rebuild the laptop for my father in law to use.

    My version of windows is too old for this? I have an error message asking me to check the system requirements in the readme file

    Thank you

    No, it is certainly not too old ;)

    Maybe your XP disk contains SP2 or other patches, but it's not really bad.
    You can update everything after installing Windows.

    After installing windows, you could install the Toshiba drivers that you might find on the European driver Toshiba page.
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-> support download &-> download drivers

    Please note; You should also research * Archives * area the driver page if you won't find anything in field of laptops

    If you stay with the operating system, then you should be OK.  However, if you are in the game and then a better graphics card and power supply would be needed.

    Start the OS X App Store, then click on the item toolbar updates. V5.6.1 pages should be available, and this will open documents Pages ' 09, ' 08 and ' 06. In messages to this community, you should always share what version specific pages and OS X that you are currently using.
