AppleMail, my own domain email and Gmail

I have my own domain name email which has started to get too many spam emails.
I'm aware that running the email through the gmail servers will help get rid of most of it.
So...i need help setting it up and using Mac Mail to manage all my emails still.
I think i am almost there - but a few things are going wrong.
firstly i have managed to configure things in Gmail, by setting up "retrieve other account". All that seems easy enough.
The problem occurs on Apple Mail.
Basically i want to be able to get all my emails coming through Apple Mail, so filtered through Gmail first. And then i want to be able to send email from my normal domain name, rather than Gmail.
So far, i have the incoming STMP to gmail, and the outgoing using my normal server, but this doesn't seem to work.
Any help in doing this is much appreciated.

You cannot use your own domain name with iCloud email - it handles only its own email. The only thing you can do is forward email from your domain's email account to iCloud, but then you can't answer using it as you can only send using iCloud's outgoing server with the iCloud address as the 'From' address.

Can I set up my own domain email and FTP with iCloud?

Hi,
I have my own domain name and I would like to have my own domain email using iCloud. Is that possible?
Also, if I buy storage, can I set up a FTP so I can share files with working clients?
I noticed Google Apps let you do these things but since I am a Mac guy I am wondering if iCloud would be easier to set up and manage it.
Thanks for any feedback.

Outlook 07, Non Mac / own domain emails and the iPhone

I am thinking about whether to buy an iPhone 3G or the Blackberry Bold. I am confident that I will be able to get my email to work with the Blackberry. Since finding mobileme will not sync no me.com email folders from outlook I am now worried that I am worried that it may not be possible on the iPhone.
Can you tell me whether I can send, receive and sync my existing email account on the iPhone?

Who is the email account provider for your email account, and is the email account an IMAP or POP account?
If your email account is an IMAP account, you can keep the server stored mailboxes for the account synchronized with the server with the iPhone's Mail client, and with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account.
If the account is a POP account, you can access it as with any other POP account. Mailboxes with a POP account are not kept synchronized with the server.

Own domain email no longer working

Hi there,
I have a Blackberry Torch on Vodafone UK which I've been using for several months very happily. I had set up two email addresses - a hotmail.com account and an email account with my own domain name ([email protected]). Up until this morning they were working just fine.
This morning I noticed that a lot of emails were coming into Outlook on my PC but not coming to my handset. I sent test messages from my handset and they never arrived in Outlook. So I resent the service books, got the usual "set up successful" message, but still nothing. I did a hard reset, but no change.
I logged in to Vodafone's BIS site and removed the mydomain email account, as in the past when I have had problems removing it and re-adding it seemed to fix it. However, now I can't put it back on! Even when I add the additional data via the website I get the following message:
An error occurred during email account validation. Please check your information and try again.
I tried the same process via the handset and get a similar error message:
Invalid email address or password. Verify your email address and password. If the error persists, contact namesurname.co.uk (i.e. my domain)
Now, I know that the password is correct as I am using the same one to log into my webmail and to get emails in Outlook. I have checked the email server in cPanel for my domain. So as far as I'm concerned all of the info is correct.
What else can I try? I've set up a forwarder for my domain mail to a newly created vodafone mail account in the meantime, but it's not ideal as this doesn't have the "delete on mailbox and handheld" option. Unfortunately I've tried calling Vodafone twice - the first person I spoke to said he would ring me back in under two hours, and that was five hours ago. The second person was far from helpful. Please help, this is very frustrating!
(Update: I have also changed the password for my email account to ensure that it is DEFINITELY the right one, and deleted almost all the messages from the inbox (there were some over 8MB which may have been causing the problem). I have also completely deleted my BIS account and started again from scratch. Still no joy.)
Thanks in advance!

Hi
Just a quick update.
Spoke to my hosting company and they checked all the info I was putting in and found it to be correct and can't understand why it isn't working. They suggested I contacted my phone carrier.
Spoke to Orange and they were really helpful and tried to set it up from their end but got the same error messages. They can't see anything wrong from their point of view and can't understand why it isn't working. They suggested I contact the hosting company again, which I have.
Not heard from Blackberry.
Have you got any further with it?

Problems with email and gmail on 5800

Just got my nokia 5800 this week i love it except the email application which gets me a headache!
When I add my gmail account and fill in my email and password it works right away no problems there. But then the trouble starts! it will start downloading ALL my headers since I'm a gmail user from the beginning and save most of my emails that means it will start downloading 6000+ headers! I tried several things to stop it but in the end it just kept going until it got all headers. I decided to let it get all headers but that wasn't that much of a good idea because it became ded slow when i opened the emailbox sms is still all fine but as soon as i open the email box its not just slow its SLOW!!! slow as in taking 10 seconds to even scroll up and down...
I also played a bit with gmail only enabling pop or only imap or activate both but it just doesn't Mather it will just get them all. The email app doesn't work when I only enable pop in gmail....
Hope i got the problem clear if not ask away and ill try to clarify things

Notification Light with Incoming Email and Gmail u...

Hi,
How do I configure email to blink the notification light when an email is received?
Also, I have 3 email accounts configured: Exchange and 2 Gmail accounts. I changed the Gmail accounts to sync email every 15 minutes. The Exchange account works but not the gmail accounts. Gmail has IMAP already enabled.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott

The notification light only has options for new messages (SMS, VoiceMail, etc) and Missed Calls. I cant find the option for email.
For Gmail, mine worked when I used the normal Gmail icon when setting it up, but I didnt like it. I set up and Exchange email for my gmail so that it would sync my calendar as well. (The normal gmail option wont do this). I do remember with Anna that I had to DECLINE the terms of service when setting up the email for it to work. The last tidbit would be to check your retrieval settings. Mine first defaulted to 9am to 9pm Mon-Friday. Hope something helps.

My own domain email addresses

Hi - I have 5 websites and I would like to be able to send emails from my Iphone/Ipad from that domain. IE: *******
I can do it with Hotmail, but I want to be able to reply anytime or anywhere from my mobile phone. I used to be able to do it, but apple changed everything last year and I can no longer add my extra email addresses.
Im not very technical so if anyone can explain is a basic way I would be grateful.
<Edited by Host>

Thank you very much for your reply.
I already knew that part as I have tired before I posted. When you complete the details it then wants all other information which I don't have such as
incoming server details and outgoing SMTP information - that is where I get lost??
I used to have all 5 email addresses with them, but they changed it early last year. I only want OUTGOING mail, as my incoming is already diverted to my icloud address, its for when I reply so it looks more professional.
I am grateful your your reply though !!

Work email and gmail both on BB w/separate outlook icons. Gmail emails go into both.

My work gave me a blackberry that was already set up with outlook for my work email. I installed facebook on my BB. I also went thru set up wizard and set up a 2nd email address for my gmail account. This installed a 2nd outlook icon where my gmails go into. However, all of my gmail emails also go into the outlook icon where my work emails go. They go into both. How can I get it so that gmail emails go into the gmail account outlook icon only, and not the work one?
Also, my facebook notifications go into my work email on BB, not the gmail account on BB, even though my facebook account has my gmail email as the associated email address. How do I resolve this?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
For the BES vs BIS issue, please see this post:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board/message?board.id=9500&message.id=30149#M30149
For the FB issue, I believe that FB integrates to the Messages application on the BB rather than to the specific GMail BIS icon.
Your Messages icon is not your work icon, btw -- it is the Messages app on your BB, which handles all messaging on your BB.

Push email and Gmail (best workaround I've found)

Hi
Having just updated to 2.0 I wanted to use the push email feature but my primary address is a googlemail one which doesn't fully support push! So I found a way of kind of working around this and thought I'd see if others wanted to use it.
First of all you will need:
1: A Gmail address
2: A Yahoo! Mail address (yes this uses yahoo!)
2.5: An iPhone with 2.0 (kind of obvious)
Step 1: setup the gmail address to forward all email to the yahoo address and (key point) archive gmail's copy of the email. This stops the email being forwarded to your iPhone and you recieving 2 allerts per email (really anoying!).
Step 2: Setup your Yahoo! mail account on your iPhone (I used the shortcut that is built in).
Initialy I thought about recieving the email via yahoo (push) and then changing the smtp server to the gmail one, streamlining the whole process but when using the Yahoo! mail shortcut you cannot change the smtp server (kind of stupid). So:
Step 3: Setup your gmail account on your iPhone, I called my yahoo mail account 'Gmail (push)' and my actual gmail account 'Gmail'. Then set this account to only recieve manualy (because you just want to send email from it not recieve!). Then when sending an email from the yahoo mail account (for example replying to an email) there will be the address that the iPhone is using to send the email, just tap that and it will bring up an option to change it. Yes you have to do this all the time, but I figure if it becomes anoying just tap into the gmail account and do it from there, (cmon it's like one extra tap!). Then when the person recieves their email from you it will say from [email protected] not yahoo.com.
This will work with all other kinds of email services that allow email to be forwarded to yahoo.
This may be obvious to some people but alot of people have asked how I did it!
Anyway, anyprobs, let me know!

I found that having gmail archive the incoming emails slows it down considerably (a few seconds if it's sent to the inbox, 4 minutes if it archives). So, I kept my email going to the inbox and live with receiving the same message twice on my iphone 3G.

IWEB Using Domain Email and not .me email

Hi - I registered a domain name with 123-reg.co.uk. I then transferred that to www.me.com by changing the CNAME settings so that the only one left was the CNAME for www.mydomain.co.uk. That all went well and the site is published OK. The problem I am having is when I add the "email me' button. I clicked on SITE INSPECTOR and changed the email address to [email protected] but I can't find anywhere to change the A record on iWEB so that I can get the email forwarded to my personal email.
I have looked around but can't seem to find a full answer to this question - it seems that you have to fudge it somehow back at 123-reg.co.uk by adding another CNAME record without the www. at the beginning. I feel like I am going round in circles so if anyone can help I would be grateful.
Thanks

Things to do with forwarding e-mail has nothing whatsoever to do with iWeb and you won't find this in iWeb settings.
You need to go to your domain name registrar 123-reg.co.uk and set-up e-mail forwarding to your .me e-mail address, so that when someone sends you an e-mail through your domain e-mail address it gets forwarded to your .me address.
You can either use e-mail forwarding or go and configure your e-mail account to be able to use it, so you would set it up with a username and password so that it is either [email protected] or [email protected] Then go and set this e-mail account up on your mac and you will receive these e-mails.
I have a registered domain name for my business/practice and went and set up my e-mail to use for this, so rather than forwarding I have a separate e-mail account for all work and business related e-mails. I use my .me e-mail address for personal things.
Go back to 123-reg and alter these settings or contact their support and ask them to do it for you. It is not an iWeb issue.

Can I keep both .mac email and gmail email if I go to icloud?

I have a gmail account that I'd like to keep primary, but would also like to keep my .mac email. Is there a way to do this? thanks in advance

Apple says if your .mac account is expired before you transfer to iCloud, then you will not be able to use it. It doesn't say you can use if if it is not expired and you transfer it before the deadline. Article here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4139
GMail is IMAP and syncs to all devices if set up properly. You do not need iCloud for that and iCloud is for Apple email only.
The iCloud.com email account is really just another IMAP account. and will only will show Apple addresses. You can set up both in Mail to see all messages from both accounts. A big difference in the iCloud email is it is set up automatically in Mail for you just by signing into iCloud on the computer and checking the box to use email.
You can also check email for iCloud at the iCloud.com website, just as you can check your GMail's messages at the gmail.com website.

Cross-tenant email and split domains - how to set up?

I've successfully deployed exchange 2010 sp1 in /hosted mode with multi-tenancy and the install is working great. We are running into a problem configuring the send connectors
for inter domain email and split domains. We have several customers wanting to only put a couple of email accounts on the exchange server and have the rest of their email accounts resolve to a pop server at an external location. Currently I have a internal
send connector set to relay email between the domains on the server so they can send emails to one another. Directions for this were found at: http://www.zerohoursleep.com/2010/10/step-by-step-starting-with-exchange-2010-sp1-multi-tenant-sending-and-receiving-emails/
I created the connector: new-SendConnector -Name 'TestOrg' -Usage 'Internal' -AddressSpaces 'SMTP:domain1.com;1','SMTP:domain2.com;1' -IsScopedConnector $false -DNSRoutingEnabled $false -SmartHosts '[127.0.0.1]' -SmartHostAuthMechanism 'None' -UseExternalDNSServersEnabled
$false -SourceTransportServers 'Exchange'
I added all my internal domains to the connector listed above and email is able to flow from one domain to another.
My problem is we have a number of customers who need split-domains set up where users who arent on the exchange server are relayed to an external server. Example to route unknown users on a domain to google my send connector looks as is:
New-SendConnector -Name "Internal Relay - domain1.com" -Custom -AddressSpaces "SMTP:domain1.com;5" -SmartHosts aspmx.l.google.com -SourceTransportServers "server"
This results in an internal loop error when sending from one internal domain to another. Sending from an external domain everything is fine. If I remove the "internal" connector listed above the split-domain send connector works perfectly fine delivering locally
and to the external server.
How can I make it so both send connectors work?

Hello,
did you solve the problem and how?
Thanks,
Victor

Help - Now get same email in both email account and gmail

I have a droid_razr maxx. Ever since the update I had the same synching issues everyone had except that I was still getting my emails. I just always had sync error notifications. Last week I resynched my email and gmail account and wow - the sync errors went away. BUT NOW I get the same email twice, both in my email and my gmail. I went into email and unsynched my gmail account but it still is happening. I have enough problem managing my emails without having to manage the same emails in two accounts! I'm sure this has a simple answer. Please help.

Thanks for contacting the VZW Support community about this issue, Splitrailfence. Thanks also to my friend Ann154 for her assistance. Splitrailfence, I can see why getting the same email through two different clients can be annoying. If I understand correctly, the duplicate emails are being sent to a single email email address but you're getting copies of the messages in both your Gmail account and your email account. Are both the Gmail and email clients on your RAZR Maxx set to monitor the same account? If so, who is the provider (Yahoo! or Hotmail or Gmail or other)?

Using my own domain

Hi,
I have my own domain for personal purposes. All email to my own domain email account forward to my @btinternet.com mail address, when I was using BT webmail through Yahoo I could send and receive emails using my own domain email address but with new BT webmail I can only send using my @btinternet.com address with a reply-to of my domain.
Is there any way I can get the old functionality back?
Thanks

I do exactly the same as you, only the other way round. I forward residual mail from my BT accounts to my domain mail, and use my domain mail as my main email account (and I access that not via webmail but by downloading to my desktop with pop3/smtp and an email client - MSOutlook). If you use mobile devices then you may prefer to use either IMAP or pop3 with mails left on the server.
ISPs are not committed to email, and several of the mass market ISPs like BT, have recently got into the habit of shifting providers, and it generally isn't good news for customers. Sky had a bad time moving customers TO Yahoo email, and BT are having a difficult time moving customers AWAY from Yahoo to OpenWave, and Virgin Media ported all their email to Gmail.
liquorice is right - it's easier to be in control by paying the very small amount of money required for a domain name and a few email boxes then setting up your ISP and any other email addresses to forward TO the domain mailbox.
If/when I am migrated from BTYahoo to BTMail, I will simply set up the forwarding again on the new BTMail interface, root out who is still sending me mail on my BT addresses and try and get them to stop, and then hopefully forget about BTMail completely.
BT will be delighted, as it will save them money, save them support costs and save them bandwidth.

IPhone 6 Mail App stops fetching mail from own domain ID

The Mail App on iPhone 6 (with latest OS), seems to be fetching all my emails, including two other own domain IDs, except one.
It fetches for a few days then stops. I have to delete the mail account, re-create it on the iPhone, it works fine for some days, then stops again.
Has anyone else faced and solved this problem?

Who is the email provider? Its the default email servers of DreamHost. I am using IMAP4.
Also, the email works fine for a while, so I guess the settings must be OK. Then it STOPS fetching new mails, despite refreshing. But it continues to SEND.
Yes the settings are verified. I have another own domain email ID from them which is working fine on the same iPhone.
Here is the reply from my hosting provider:
I'm very sorry to hear about this issue but unfortunately this is not
something we can address. As you noted if you reset the account is works
fine for a while. There are not changes we are making to our mail servers
that could account for that. I've tested the [email protected]
account myself and confirmed that SMTP, IMAP and POP are all working
fine.
This points to the issue being with the the phone and/or IOS 7/8 and
again that's not something we can help you with. I might suggest you
contact Apple directly so that this can be addresses as a bug and handled
on their end.
I'm very sorry I'm not able to do much in this instance. If you need
anything else or have any further questions please let me know."
