Why can't I use my email on my new iCloud account?

Ok, so I just set up a new iCloud account, but now I can't use my yahoo email or my gmail email from my other account on  my new iCloud account, also Im, not able to add the emails to my imessage app on my Mac and iPhone. Please help!

First of all, yahoo and gmail don't work on iCloud.  And today, it seems icloud email has been down in many parts of the world.  Keep looking at other posts here to get updates on this issue.

    how do I transfer saved email to my new icloud account?

    When you migrate a MobileMe account to iCloud your email is transferred to the iCloud server, including all folders on the server.
    However your signature says you have 10.6.8 - is this correct? (If not please amend it to prevent confusion.) Snow Leopard is not compliant with iCloud but you can set Mail up manually to access your iCloud email. Please see this page:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

  • Can I change the primary email associated with my icloud account

    Can I change my primary email address associated with iCloud? Not the icloud address but the one you log in with. I had to switch email addresses because my email got hacked and I just paid for 25g of memory in icloud. I just want to change my email address but keep the same account so I keep the storage space I just paid for, so I can't just delete the account and open a new one.

    You can if it isn't an @me.com, @mac.com or an @icloud.com address.  To do this go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change the address to the one you want to use and verify the address.  Then tap Edit next to the ID name and change it to be the same as your new address.
    Then you'll need to make this change on your devices.  To change it on your iOS devices, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the renamed ID.  To change it on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the renamed ID.  If you have a PC, do this on the iCloud control panel for Windows.

  • Why can I no longer send email from my Hotmail SMTP account using Mail?

    I can no longer send email from my Hotmail SMTP account using Mail. The connection doctor says it can't connect to the SMTP server. All the settings look to be correct and it was working fine before. I can still email using my iPhone with the same account.

    Other may post it is some type of change with your ISP but the simple fact is this happen with Apple Mac Mail all the time.
    IMHO Mac Mail is one of, if not the, worst mail program ever written.
    Do yourself a big favor and start using some other mail program, any other Mail program.

  • If I download all my emails from my gmail acct to thunderbird, can i then export those emails to a new gmail account? or do they stay in thunderbird?

    my gmail acct was recently comprised. and i was exposed to a phishing/fraud thing and the hacker scared the heck out of me:/ and i am afraid to keep my gmail account that i have had for over ten years now. so i created a new gmail account and i want to move all my emails from old acct to new gmail acct and then delete my old gmail acct. will thunderbird assist me with this? or i may just upload all my old emails from my old gmail to thunderbird and use thunderbird exclusively but can i delete my gmail acct without affecting thrunderbird? gosh i hope this makes sense. haley

    ''re :my gmail acct was recently comprised. and i was exposed to a phishing/fraud thing ''
    Did someone actually gain access to your account or did you just get someone abusing your email address without your knowledge?
    There are unscrupulous idiots who abuse other peoples email addresses and send emails using it. This is actually more common than you would like and has happened to me as well. Do not respond to these emails.
    Tell you friends you have had someone abusing your email address and I suggest you create a HTML signature file to use in emails that you send. Tell your friends that genuine emails from you will alwways have the signature, so that they can tell the difference.
    After a while the abuser gets bored and moves on to their next victim.
    Usually, your account has not been hacked; just the email address abused.
    To check there is no malware/virus on your computer logging keystrokes or similar, download malwarebytes:
    https://www.malwarebytes.org/
    then restart your computer in Safe Mode and perform a scan using your Anti-Virus software and the malwarebytes program.
    Once you have the all clear, then update your passwords.
    Do not post personal information & email addresses in public forums as this is typically where abusers find the info. I notice that phillipp had to edit your question to remove personal info.
    It is easier to forward emails from one email address to another via the gmail webmail account.
    You do not say what type of mail account you are using.
    If Pop then the emails will be downloaded from the server Inbox to Thunderbird Profile account name Inbox. Ususally, the copy is deleted off the server, but settings can be modified to leave a copy on the server.
    If IMAP then you see a remote view of emails on the server.
    you subscribe to see folders. email headers are downloaded and when you select to see an email, it is retrieved from the server and stored in a temp cache. These emails are not stored in Thunderbird, they are on the server.
    If you synchronise those subscribed folders, then a copy is downloaded to your Thunderbird Profile, but these folders are constantly updating to match the server. If you delete any email via Thunderbird or webmail, it will be removed from both as these folders are one and the same.
    So if you have IMAP then they are stored on the server then you will only have a copy at best.
    If you want to get a copy into Thunderbird and delete everything on the server, you need to synchronise your subscribed folders to get full up to date copies in your Profile folders.
    Then go into 'offline' mode to stop further synchronising, then move all emails into 'Local Folders' mail account. Local Folders is a special mail account - emails in this account are not efected by the server. Remember to create folders to keep your emails organised.
    Once you are happy that all emails are in Local Folders account, you can delete the mail in the IMAP mail account and then remove the old gmail account if desired.
    You can create a second gmail account in Thunderbird regardless of whether you delete the first one or not:
    * File > New > Existing mail account
    If you put them in Local Folders then you can move/copy emails back onto server after creating new gmail account
    OR
    simply create the new gmail account and move emails between
    Or
    Leave the emails in Local Folders to read/store. But these emails will then be only on your computer, so creating a backup would be advisable.

  • Why can't I use my email lists (to send to a group) on iPad?

    Tried both Yahoo and Gmail emails.  Have to use my mac to send group emails unless I want to add one email at a time.  Kind of defeats the purpose of creating a list.

    The mail app and the contacts app just don't have any features or settings that will let you do this. Only Apple knows why.
    You will not be the first to do so, but  you can make a suggestion to Apple and tell them that you would like to see the ability to do this added in an iOS update.

  • Why can't I use default email client?

    PSE 12, Windows 8.1. It would be awesome to be able to just have a SEND TO Email client from within the program, but forcing us to use Microsoft's horrible email program is not satisfactory.  I'm sure I'll just have to end up doing it the hard way, saving the file, open a new email client message, attach the photo and SEND, but it shouldn't be necessary.  I always use Thunderbird for all my email and don't wish to change.  I never could get Microsofts Email to work with all my email programs.
    Why wouldn't Adobe configure such an important and often used option for the user to use?
    Thanks
    Tim

    Just discovered that Photoshop Elements 12 will not work with my Facebook either... says there is no internet connection, which there is.  Disabled Anti-Virus, no firewall, everything else working fine.  I guess I'll stick to what I know PSE can do.

  • Why can't i use another email address to face time?

    I am trying to face time and imessage someone with another email address that is connected to my apple id but it is not working. Please help!

    You don't FaceTime with an email address. You FaceTime with an Apple ID. Apple IDs use, as the user name, an email address but they are not the email address.

  • Why can't I use iWork '08 in my new MacBook Pro

    I have installed iWork '08, but no cursor shows up.  Must I purchase a new iWork for my MacBook Pro?  I really only need the word processor.

    You can purchase just Pages using the Mac App Store for $19.99.  There are also other word processors available for OS X.  For example, Libre Office and Neo Office Aqua are free packages each  similar to Office for OS X.  These and others can be found at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

  • Why can't I open my emails in the new Yahoo Mail any more? It was ok until Yahoo upgraded it.

    Yesterday I upgraded my Yahoo mail and at first the auto complete email address didn't work and now I can't open my emails to read them. The page just freezes. Can you help me please?

    This is probably an issue with the new Yahoo code that Yahoo needs to fix on their site.<br />
    You can try to contact them or post on a Yahoo forum if there is such a forum for problems with Yahoo! Mail.

  • Why can't I use column browser on my new playlists?

    Is it just me?  But I used to be able to hit Cmd-B in order to look at the column browser in iTunes in any playlist I created.  I looks like it's been taken away in iTunes 11.  What gives?

    The column browser doesn't make as much sense in your playlists as it does in your library and does seem to be gone. It does still work in your library. While you're in the Music tab, choose Songs to see everything. Cmd-B will still bring up the column browser.

  • New iCloud account on iPad gets email, cant connect to safari

    i setup my old iPad for my cousin, with his new iCloud email and iTunes account. The iPad gets email from his new iCloud account and his old Frontieer account, but safari cant connect. Tried logging in to iCloud , but it said "invalid email or password" . We reset his password using my new iPad then tried logging on with his old iPad and got the same message.

    I did reset and erase all content on the iPad. At my house we set up a new iCloud account for my cousin and added his old email to his new/used iPad. We did not sync it to his computer(we were not near his computer at the time and his computer is an old pc laptop. i didn't think it could be synced to it.) when he left my house he was able to get his email (old and new accounts) and search the web. At his home he gets his email, both accounts But can't connect to safari. Tried to log into iCloud and got the "invalid email or password" response. We changed his password using my iPad but got the same "invalid email or password" response.
    Demo, are you saying that the iPad needs to be linked to his desktop(old laptop)? I was hoping to avoid that because he was having trouble with it, I know nothing about pcs and I was hoping to convert him to apple because of its simplicity. The simplicity is avoiding us in this instance
