Email address not working in iMessages

I set up iMessages on all my devices (Mac, iPad, iPhone) with the same AppleID. I added email addresses to all the devices. I used an AppleID that is not my iCloud ID. I asked my daughter to test the new setup - sending text messages to my email address instead of the phone # (which she had been using and I had been receiving on the iPhone.) She sent a test text message (with picture attachment) but it only showed up in the email app on the iPad and Mac. So what went wrong?
Thanks,
Will

To answer your PS first, you get an @icloud.com email address by checking off mail in system preferences >> icloud. When you check off notes, you are also asked to create the address, if you don't already have one associated with your apple id/icloud account. This sounds like where you are currently at.
When you are attempting to create the address, you're not inputting the "@icloud.com" part are you? All you need to do is input the prefix of the address you'd like to be using. Keep in mind, once you create the addess, it cannot be changed, so be careful what you pick.

HT5312 Rescue email address not work and I forget my security question answers

Rescue email address not work and I forget my security question answers

If you don't have access to your rescue email account (you won't be able to change it until you can answer 2 of your questions), or you aren't receiving the email to it, then you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to update your rescue email address for potential future use, or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

Erec - leaving action deleted internal candidate email address not working

Good morning
We have the following situation:
1. A person was made a leaver in HR with future leaving date.
2. Decision was made that the person could actually stay so the leaving action was deleted in HR.
3. In erec in SU01 person still showing as role RCF_INT however the email address (produced from IT105 subtype 0010 in HR) was blank and his Alias field populated with his employee number ie: as if he was a leaver still.
4. I have manually updated the email address in erec for his internal email address - this did not let him apply for an internal job. I then deleted it in IT105 in HR and then recreated it in IT105 - this has gone across to Erec however he still cannot apply and the Alias field is still being populated.
So erec is behaving as if he is part internal and part external! How can I stop the Alias field being populated for him and how can I then get the email address to work?
many thanks
Dawn

Hi Nicole
Thank you. The order of events was as follows:
a. On 25.01.11 a leaving action was done to start 01.04.11
b. A decision made in March that the individual could stay however the leaving action was not deleted until 08.04.11
c. This meant that he became a leaver in erec and due to subsequently deleting the leaving action he has reverted to INT_CAND (which is what we want).
I have managed to get the email address to work by deleting the IT105 subtype 0010 in HR, I then recreated it in HR and it has PFAL'd over to erecruitment so the user is now able to apply for jobs.
However the Alias field is still populated and the user has an additional employee number in erecuitment. Are you able to advise how the alias field can be depopulated?
Many thanks
Dawn

Submit button to an email address not working?

Created a submit button for sending the complete PDF form to an email address, works fine on my computer with the 8.3 Pro version. But when I send it to someone else to use with Adobe reader it won't work, returns an error message. Isn't that the whole idea of a form is to be able to be able to send data? My email address is wron in my profile and it won't let me change it... [email protected] Also tried using the FDF and XFDF format as the help suggests, that didn't work either.

The problem may be on the other machine, one of the major problems with using e-mail submission. E-mail submission requires that the user machine be properly configured. With AA9 (or maybe AA8), additional options were setup that did not require MAPI to be active on the machine, but there are apparently some problems. If the data file is being sent, then there is not a Reader Rights issue. It looks like you are using Acroforms since you mentioned FDF and XFDF (Designer uses XML) data formats. It may be that the client is using an earler version of Reader before AR9 and that is an issue.
The safest way to send the data is to a web script on a server, not e-mail. Setting this up is not necessarily that easy, but the safest as mentioned.
I have not answered your problem as such, but given some indication of why you may be having a problem.

Why does this email address not work

Hi
i have posted the question a couple of times in a different format, but have not received an answer....
Why wont the ipad email system allow the following format address:
[email protected]
It works in outlook, but not on the iPad.
I get the message invalid address or password.
I am hoping that someone knows how to make it work...
Cheers

I think the format is yourdomain.com.test-google-a.com. Your example is missing the .com part of your domain. So your example should look like [email protected] where mydomain = name.com

ICloud Email address not working

I have recently migrated to iCloud from Mobile Me with my two email addresses (Me.com and Mac.com).
A few days ago I notices that I was not receiving emails regularly and as of today I received the following error message while trying to test from a Google mail account :
From:           Mail Delivery Subsystem <[email protected]>
          Subject:           Delivery Status Notification (Failure)
Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
    [email protected]
Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias: [email protected] (state 14).
I have not been able to find who to address this issue with Apple Support as no support line or email is directly available.
Does anybody share the same issue or know how to address this ?

Apparenty it worked, I am not getting the error message on the Me.com (50 550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias:@me.com (state 14).)
I had tried to deleted the account on the iPhone but not on the Apple
Will wait a little more to se if incoming email are flowing back
Thanks for the tip
I found a lot of similar issues o the discussion forum, butno solution (other than waiting !) : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3373867

Autofill for email addresses not working since migration from G4 to MacBook

Hi,
I was able to move the appropriate Mail folder and preferences files over to my new MacBook. Everything is working great except when I start typing in an email address, Mail doesn't start autofilling the rest of the recipient's address. Does anyone know if there's a file I can move over from my old Mac to get that working again? Is an address book thing (which I didn't migrate over).
Thanks!
Bob

I've been having the exact same problem but I've figured it out.
On my previous OSX version (Snow Leopard) I synced my Calendars and Contacts between my work and home computer via Dropbox. What I did was create a symbolic link for these two folders:
:: <user>/Library/Calendars and
:: <user>/Library/Application Suppport/Address Book
...linking to folders inside <user>/Dropbox where the data was stored and synced between the two computers.
I have now replaced the symbolic links with the actual data/folders and everything is back to normal with Mail accessing my Contacts.
If you are having a similar issue, make sure to close Mail and Contacts applications and COPY the data back, so that you have a backup of your data if something doesn't work. I turned off iCloud when I did this but not sure if that's neccessary.
Hope it helps.

Richard,
This might be possible depending on the configurations of the computers and the speeds of the communications links that you both have. iChat can be a bit tricky to set up for audio/video sessions, especially if there are one or more firewalls involved.
There's an excellent narrative on the specific topic of iChatPC at:
http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page12.html
You might check out the iChat forums in the Apple discussion groups at:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=139
There is a wealth of knowledge and assistance about iChat related issues on these forums. There tends to be more active discussions regarding iChat related issues then here in the Usenet groups.
If you are unsuccessful with iChat, try Sight Speed (www.sightspeed.com). There are free clients for both Mac and PC. Unlike iChat, it is client-server based (iChat is peer-to-peer) so there are less obstacles to success.
It doesn't have as good video/audio quality as iChat and the echo suppression isn't as advanced, but it is much easier to set up. Also, unlike iChat, the conferencing capabilities (more than two users) are not included with the free versions.
HTH...

Hi,
iChat will Video chat to the AIM 5.9 Application or Trillian Pro ($25) run on a XP PC.
Both ends need some settings up. The AIM application more, with an extra "Tuning" stage.
The AIM application needs the Tuning and Enabling through the XP firewall (links to Tuning and an Explanation of the Firewall stuff on the Page 12 link)
The Trillian needs just enabling though the XP firewall.
Both ends also need to make sure the applications involved can also get through the routers and modems involved.
This page has links to Real People testers and some Autoresponding test accounts. Both ends should try contacting the autoresponding accounts and then with a selection of the Real People, to see where they are up to. Then Try PC to PC and Mac to Mac before trying Mac to PC (Or the other way round).
This list has some cross platform stuff
There is also YakforFree iVisit and others out there.
I hope this helps whoever sent the email.

Autocomplete for email addresses not working

I upgraded two laptops to Mountain Lion today (2010 Macbook Air, 2008 Macbook Pro). Everything seems to work ok so far, except for the fact that Mail no longer autocompletes my email addresses. Also, when I send an email, the recipient doesn't show up in the "previous recipients" or the "address panel" windows, and it will not autocomplete even though I just sent an email to that address.
From what I can tell, Mail is not accessing the Contacts app, and the old database of email recipients was deleted during the upgrade. This is occurring on two separate machines, updated independently. So right now, Mail is largely useless--I have to either type in an entire email address, or open Contact and click on an email address. NO WAY! I installed Sparrow, and it works flawlessly. Looks like another bug...
Can someone please advise how to force Mail to access my address book (or import my addresses). Mail is activated for iCloud, as is the address book.
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks, Kevin

Outgoing SMPT email address not working

I have done this dozens of times, but now am having a difficult time making it work. I already have 3 email addresses in my Mail account and working fine, I am trying to add another address, and am screwing up someplace, need help.

We need a lot more detail on the problem. And I recommend looking in the forum for others having problems sending (and type SMTP correctly when you look :-)).

Why does yahoo and hotmail email address not work with JavaMail

I am sending an email like this if [email protected]= [email protected] it doesnt work... but works if it is someone on the same domain
theMessage.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress("[email protected]"));

Suzie,
Could you be a little more specific in your question? Are you developing an ADF/JSF application? a Web Service? EJB? Is it a plan Java App?
There are more chances for your question to have a more proper response if posted in the right place :)

Why isn't email link not working for only one address?

Windows 7, Outlook 10, InDesign CS6, Acrobat X Pro, version 10.1.5
I have a series of email addresses that work fine in the resulting .pdf (set to generate automatically), but there's one that either isn't recognized as an email address, or when it is, has a few extra characters that appear after it.
[email protected]
I've tried retyping this, starting a new file, any of the usual tricks, but can't get it fixed.
What the heck's going on?!!
Thanks,
Caren

I may have misunderstood what you're doing. If you are relying on Acrobat/Reader to recognize certain text as email addresses (Edit > Preferences > General > Create links from URLs), then a workaround is to create an actual link (Open a web page type) and set it to a "mailto" type:
mailto:[email protected]

My iCloud email does not work. Getting error message that i need to uncheck SSL . This does not work. Help

icloud Email does not work. When running Connection doctor it indicates I must check or uncheck SSL. This has not fixed the problem

iCloud email addresses (@mac.com, @me.com and @icloud.com) require SSL. Is your address an iCloud address or someone else?

TS4268 My friend just got iPhone 5. His texts now show up as his email address not his phone number. Whats wrong?

My Friend just got iPhone 5. His texts to me now show up as an email address not his phone number. Whats wrong? when I text to him via his # they sent as a text not iMessage. Help I dont like to have two contacts.

It has to do with his settings in iMessage. His iMessage has to be activated and it has to show his phone # as the "start conversation from".

HT4484 app store account see my daughter email address not mine.

my daughter took over our shared itune account. I created and can see a new account in itunes and iCloud reset 4s, but my macbook pro app store account see her email address not mine. I did us my old email address. how do i change the app store acount information to my account?

You can sign into the Apple Services using either the Apple ID (is this the "primary email" address on my apple id account?)
the iCloud email address (is this [email protected]?)
or your associated address (other associated email addresses that I verified on my apple id account?),
In your case the Apple ID and primary address are [email protected] The iCloud email address or alternate address in your case is [email protected] and associated addresses are iCloud email aliases, I don't know if you have created any of these.
but it will show you logged in as using the Apple ID. (which apple id?, what will display?)*
* for me it displays the [email protected] for find my iphone, imessage and facetime, but NOT itunes/store
Yes with some things like FaceTime and Messages you can send and receive in any of the addresses you have related to your Apple ID, but it will always list your Apple ID as [email protected]
