Setting up using an external email address through MobileMe on the iPhone

I have an external email address set up in my Apple Mail desktop client and in the MobileMe web interface. It's an email alias that I have set up with a personal domain that I own. I have that alias set up to forward to my MobileMe account. For sending out from that address, I use my ISP's smtp server, both in my client, and in the MobileMe web interface. I want to also be able to send mail from this external account from my iPhone. I don't think there is a way to do this because when you set up a new mail account on the iPhone, it presumes you are using the smtp server of the email domain you are using, but I'm not, and there is no way during the set up process to set a specific smtp server to use (in this case, I would want to set it up so that the account would use my ISP's smtp server. Just wondering if anyone figured out a way to make this work.

I'd like to know this as well.
I finally managed to set Mail up in a way to use MobileMe but sent from my personal server AND display said address.
However, on my iPhone I can only send email with the "from" info [email protected]

My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address. I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email. My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices,

My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address. I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email. My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices, it tells me that email is already being used. How do I delete the iPhones iCloud account and reinstall it to match my other devices.

Yes it will, just sign out, then sign back in with the correct address.

HT5312 What if I no longer use my rescue email address and cannot remember the username or password for that email address to retrieve the answers to my challenge questions?

What if I no longer use my rescue email address and cannot remember the username or password that I set up as my rescure email?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

My Daughter has an Ipod and when I set up the account before giving her the gift for Xmas I set it up under my email address, now I have an iphone 4 and I want to have my own account for itunes. Is there any way 2 do this w/ two separate accts, same email

My daughter got an Ipod for Xmas and I set up the apple account before hand & used my email address to set it up, now I have purchased an Iphone 4 and I want to have a separate itunes for my music.... is there a way to have two separate itunes accounts under the same email address?

Thanks. I have my iPad on my lap and her iPod in my hand. We can FaceTime each other but it won't let either of us message each other. I know mine is activated as I use it frequently. I have activated hers as well. Maybe I will put it in the too hard basket for tonight, sleep on it and try again tomorrow.

Use of external battery cases, does it harm the iphone's internal battery?

Can the use of external battery cases harm the life of the internal battery in the iphone 4? (ie. Mophie juice pack air)

Absolutely not, but if looking for a protective case i would not recommend the mophie but if just using your phone for commercial use, then yes definitely use, it's helpful when you need a cordless charger

I am trying to include a Mac Mini with a webcam/microphone to call several family iPhones 4S/5 usisng email addresses vice phone numbers so that we can communicate from outside the US via iPhone to the US (Mac Mini) via wi-fi and email addresses.

I cannot receive calls from the iPhones but can call the iPhones from the Mac Mini. what needs to be corrected?
Thanks.

I can't set up my email account on my ipod touch. It keeps saying that I have to use a valid email address for this account

I can't set up my email on my ipod touch. It keeps saying I have to use a valid email address for this account. Help!

Hi Annie,
Make sure when you are setting up your e-mail account that you enter in your entire e-mail address. If you have a Yahoo (includes any e-mail account associated with Yahoo), G-mail, or Aol after entering in your password it should automatically set up. Any other e-mail address you will have to manually set the account up.

HT5622 When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone. I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone. I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

Yes, but be sure she is on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID before deleting anything. Be sure there is nothing that you want to keep on your device too. When you delete the data from iCloud it will be deleted from all devices signed into the account. Then you can delete the data from the existing account by doing the following:
To delete the contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
For Calendars, open the calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key. Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash. When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
If you also want to delete your iCloud backups you can go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage on your device, tap the name of your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.

Trouble setting up to use my own email address on a MAC

I'm on my work computer. I am trying to get set up to use Thunderbird. It will not grant me access to use my own email address (says wrong password) but I'm just now setting it up for the first time. I tried the system's administrator password and that didn't work either. I do not want to use Thunderbird as my default email client. Any ideas?

usually it is firewall or anti virus programs blocking the network connection that results is spurious incorrect password errors from the account wizard.
Given their recent adoption on MACs I now make the suggestion to mac users as well. Check both to ensure Thunderbird has full access to the internet. Disable any email anti virus scanning (it often does not understand the port probing that goes with the auto detect feature, and simply eats the results)

Hi Rajasree,
You can get the email address by passing the PERNR of employee and read the infotype '0105' (communication) with subtype '0010'.
DATA: lt_p0105 LIKE p0105 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
CALL FUNCTION 'HR_READ_INFOTYPE'
   EXPORTING

    pernr                 = pernr
    infty                 = '0105'
    begda                 = sy-datum
    endda                 = sy-datum
*   BYPASS_BUFFER         = ' '

     infty_tab             = lt_p0105
EXCEPTIONS
    infty_not_found       = 1
    OTHERS                = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* Implement suitable error handling here
ENDIF.
READ TABLE lt_p0105 WITH KEY subty = '0010'.
email = lt_p0105-usrid_long.

How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini

How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini?
On my PC I simply have a master return email address and use a POP for the secondary address. Both are through the one exchange account without a problem. I need to be able to do the same on my Ipad.

Ah, I should have made that clear. My domain didn't come from google. It was purchased at and is hosted at dreamhost, but I haven't used their email servers in years - I just route everything through gmail. I actually have a bunch of domains (with websites).
Gmail has an option that lets someone with custom domains send (and receive) email through gmail using the custom domain once Google confirms proper ownership of the domain (to prevent spammers and such). Gmail has a setting for "send email as" which allows gmail to be sent using a custom domain as the sender. I'm pretty sure Apple's old mobileme had this feature too, but I didn't use it.

How do you send mail using a different email address

I have a BT yahoo mail account, (eg [email protected]) to which I have associated a domain name for my business use, (eg [email protected]). When I send a mail from my PC I can choose which email address to show in the from address, either my personal Btinternet account or my Business Name. However I don't have this option on the iPad. Has anyone else experienced this problem? And if so what's the solution.
Many thanks in advanced.
Bluto

Badunit,
Thanks no I don't have both accounts set up as the Business domain name is received and issued through the btinternet mail account. I've tried to set up a second account however this will not validate because they are both through the same mail account. Or am I missing something?

How do I change my Apple ID to use my @me email address instead of my old email address?

Hi,
I recently started to use iCloud and have therfore now got an @me email address. I have managed to make it my primary email address but it won't let me make it my Apple ID even though there is an option to make your primary email address one of the same.
When I try it says "You cannot create an Apple ID using a MobileMe account. If this is your email address, it is also your Apple ID."
I can log in to Apple using my @me email address but it displays my old, not in use any more, email address and it really annoys me.
Does any one know how I can get it to use only my @me address and completely forget my old one?
Thanks,
Andy

There is a lot of confusion about Apple ID and I think this has come about mainly becuase Apple introduced .Me Accounts. Prior to that there was only .Mac. My iCal and Contacts were syncing fine until I visited "Manage Your Apple ID" I was prompted to change my Apple ID and Primary Email Address. After doing so I lost the syncing between devises as my iCloud on my iPhone was set to my .Me account and my MacBook Pro to .Mac.
Once you've changed your Apple ID and Primary Email Addressto .Mac you can't seemingly go back to .Me which I think is crazy. My work around has been to delete my iCloud Account on my iPhone and then set it up again using my .Mac Account. I now have to do the same on my MBP.
A word of caution before making any changes always make sure your iCal and Contacts info. are backed-up!

Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.

Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.
I'm using their account and will continue to reset their password and settings until they either get the message or Apple do something about it and disable or migrate their account so that I can use MY OWN email address for my own purposes.
I don't want to be informed about Apple products and services for someone else on my email account.
I want to be able to use it MYSELF for iTunes
All I am asking you to do is migrate their apple ID to their alternate email account settings and free up my email address so that:
A. I can use it and B. I stop getting messages about their account history.
Either that or just cancel their account as they have no right to use my personal details.
Yes I could set up a new email address but WHY THE **** should I? I've been using this email account for years for personal stuff, it's not mu fault if someone can sign it up as an AppleID without me being able to confirm their sign up process!
Your move Apple, make it count.

Hi Sister Kate,
If you change the Apple ID you are using on an iPhone or other iOS device, there are several places you need to change it on the device. See this article -
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
