Can I use my old email account with the mobile me email account?

I have a personal email account I have used for years.   How can I use that with the mobile me? I want my original email address to be in MobileMe so I can transfer my emails to all of my devices.

Hi Margaret,
I have a Power Mac 5 WITHOUT an intel processer/  I have updated my computer to snow lepord which is as far as I can go.
I think you updated to Leopard/10.5.x, Snow Leopard/10.6 is Intel only.
Actually you're in luck, you can still use iCloud for eMail on PPC using 10.4.11 or 10.5.8, but it must be IMAP, not POP...
iCloud Mail setup...
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 993
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
One secret I think is when setting it up don't choose the .me/.mac type, it'll auto fill in .mac as the server which won't work, go back afterwards & change the servers.

    Can i use my old IPOD dock with the new G5 IPOD?

    That's really good to know. I thought because it was a different thickness you wouldn't be able to, and the dock adaptor that comes with the new iPods doesn't fit into the old Photo dock.
    Do you know if you can use the charger that came with the old Photo iPods? You can plug straight into the power socket, but the cable that goes into the charger from the iPod is the firewire cable, so I was thinking maybe it wouldn't work, and I don't want to try it in case I short out my iPod or something!

  • Can I merge my iCloud email account with my mobile.me email account?

    Can I merge my iCloud email account with my mobile.me email account?

    Are the usernames the same - e.g. is it [email protected] and [email protected] or is it [email protected] and [email protected]?
    If the former, they are the same thing, part of the same account, and deliver into the same inbox.
    If they are different then either
    a) One of them is an 'alias' on the same account and delivers into the same inbox, or
    b) You have two separate iCloud accounts.
    In the latter case you cannot move an address from one account to another; in the other cases they are already 'merged'.

    Thanks!

    Your phone would need to be unlocked to allow you to do this.  Was the phone originally unlocked and which carrier/phone company was it with?
    You need to contact them to get it unlocked so that you can change carriers.

  • Can I use my new iphone 5 with the old iHome iD9SVC Speaker System if I get an apadter? or should i just buy new speaker system made specifically for the iphone5

    can I use my new iphone 5 with my old iHome iD9SVC speaker system if I get an adapter? or should i just buy a new speaker system made specifically for the iphone 5?

    Look iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is a backup listed for your iPhone 5 dated BEFORE you restored your iPhone 4 backup to your iPhone 5? If not, your data is gone. If there is a backup, on your iPhone 5: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You should now be able to restore that backup, if it exists, to your iPhone 5.

  • Can i use an old car charger with a usb port to charge my iPhone 5s?

    Can I use an old car charger for a not smart phone to charge my iPhone 5s through the usb port?

    Usually you can!
    check if the specification of charger (USB output) is 5V (very important) and at least 500mA (more power like 1000mA --> 1A allow you to charge greater devices like iPad)
    But personally is not good idea, because in short/long time can damage or reduce the life of battery of your iPhone/iPad etc.

  • How can i use Mail on 2 macs with the same mail address?

    Hi,
    I have two Macs, connected through WLAN. From each Mac I can use Mail (sending and receiving) with the same mail address. This worked well; on each Mac I have separate files storing the mails (input, sent, trash, …).
    Some days ago I had to change the provider. (Perhaps this may be the reason for my problem?) Now both mail systems are connected - in the way that if I put on Mac *1 a mail into the trash it is automatically thrown into the trash on Mac *2.
    What is to be done to separate the two systems (i. e. make them independent of each other)?
    Hans

    It looks like you are using a IMAP mail account, a protocol used by most email providers nowadays. Read -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Message_Access_Protocol
    The main feature of IMAP is the sync of all the changes you do on your mail account. If you want to keep your mails on one Mac, have a look at this site -> http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=3908294

  • HT4818 Can you use both Bootcamp and Parallels with the same Windows 7 installed

    I have Parallels installed with Windows 7.  Can I use both Bootcamp and Parallels on the same machine depending on whether I just want to work in Windows all day (Bootcamp) or alternate during the same session (Parallels)?

    You can, yes. But there is a complication: once you activate windows it will only be activated for one of the two methods you use. So, let's say you install into boot camp and activate windows. You can then install Parallels and it will find your boot camp installation, but when running in Parallels, Windows will report that it is not activated. Or, you can activate it in Parallels and when running in Boot Camp Windows will report that it is not activated. The reason for this is because Windows thinks it is running on different computers depending on how you boot it. This may not be an issue for you if you run Windows a lot one way and just occasionally the other way, so be sure to activate Windows in whichever method you use more often. Hope this helps!

    Can I use a I PAD 2 with me Canon MX870 Printer?

    The Canon MX870 is not on Apple's AirPrint list of supported printers:
    AirPrint basics
    So you would have to find some Canon app or some third party app in the App Store to do some limited printing from iPad.

  • Can I replace my old Apple ID with my new iCloud email address?

    For years, my Apple ID has been associated with an external email address. Now that iCould users are given an "@me.com" email address for free, I would like to use that as my new Apple ID.
    When I try to edit my primary email address using these instructions, this is the message I get:
    You cannot create an Apple ID using a MobileMe account. If this is your email address, it is also your Apple ID.
    I can't really figure out what this means. Is my Apple ID is permanently bound to the external email address? Seems pretty silly that I wouldn't be able to associate my Apple ID with my iCloud email...

    Think of your Apple ID that is bound to an external email address as an Anonymous Apple ID account.  The email address can be changed to any other email address that is not an Apple ID, iCloud, MobileMe, Mac, etc. account.  iCloud, MobileMe, Mac, etc. accounts are just Apple ID accounts in disguise.  So the bottom line is no, but you can use both independantly.
