Can I use Yahoo email address in Mail?

Hi,
Friend bought a MacBook. He's had Yahoo email address for years. Can he use it in Mail? If not - is there a free solution? He has an Airport, so no need to get high speed.
Thanks.

You can an email account from either your ISP (internet service provider) or from an email account provider only such as Apple (.Mac), Yahoo, etc.
I was under the impression that one doesn't need to actually get
high speed with an Airport - that you just need to be somewhere
with good reception.
Yes and no.
I have Cable modem service at Home and I purchased an Airport Express wireless router which is connected to my cable modem. This allows me to create a wireless network at home which is password protected and encrypted. Any neighbors within range of my wireless network can see my network but are unable to connect to it (without my permission or knowledge) since I have it password protected and encrypted.
Although your friend's MacBook may be within range of someone else's wireless network, most are password protected (or should be) and even if not protected, this doesn't give your friend or anyone else the right to connect to this dumb person's unprotected wireless network without their permission and knowledge.
Even if your friend does so with or without permission, he will probably have problems sending messages with an email account and SMTP server not provided by the person's internet service provider with the wireless network.
There are a number of paid and free wireless access locations at coffee shops and the like but each has different requirements for using an email account and SMTP server that is outside of their network.
Having an Airport or wireless card does not give you free internet access unless you are within range of a free public wireless network which must be within 150 feet or so.

Can you use multiple email addresses on the owa app?

Can you use multiple email addresses on the Microsoft OWA App?

You can do it but there is a delay from the bluetooth speaker. You'll need an iphone or ipad using the Apple app "Control", airplay setup, bluetooth speaker, and an Apple laptop or desktop.
I used my laptop to connect to my bluetooth speaker so that sound streams to my bluetooth device. Then, on my iphone I opened Control and connect the music to my airplay and my laptop at the same time. The music goes to your airplay speaker, and then to my laptop which then blue tooths it to my speaker. But, as I said the bluetooth takes an extra step to stream it and so the music is not in sync. Its like a second and a half delay....

If i can't use Recue Email Address,what should i do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

You can use a non @me to set up iCloud, then add your @me address to that apple id. So you have your apple id as any addreee you want, and your @me address is attached to that apple id, but it is not the id. That is what I did, so I know that works.
If you open an iCloud account with an ID which is a non-Apple email address you will be asked to create a new @me.com address to go with it. People have reported that it is not possible to add an existing @me.com address to an iCloud account, so if that is what you've done I can't explain why you got away with it An @me.com address is an Apple ID in its own rigtht so you would be in effect merging IDs, which (despite many people's fervent wishes) is not possible.
And as said you can't use an alias address for anything else than an alias in the account by which it was created.

Can I use one email address for two apple devices? (One iPad2 and one iMac.)

I've been trying to find this information by searching the web and I can't find a good answer.
Can I use [email protected] for my "iPad AppleID" and use the same email address for my "iMac AppleID"?

your mail account has nothing to do with your apple id or device or even platform
you activate your mail account in your mail-app on your device, just pay attention you activate your account as IMAP and not as POP or Exchange
I suppose Verizon.net offers IMAP too?
citation from Wikipedia :
IMAP supports both on-line and off-line modes of operation. E-mail clients using IMAP generally leave messages on the server until the user explicitly deletes them. This and other characteristics of IMAP operation allow multiple clients to manage the same mailbox. Most e-mail clients support IMAP in addition to Post Office Protocol (POP) to retrieve messages; however, fewer e-mail services support IMAP. IMAP offers access to the mail storage. Clients may store local copies of the messages, but these are considered to be a temporary cache.

In Mountain Lion can I use Contacts to address e-mail to several addresses at a time like I used to do with older system versions?

Is there a way to use Contacts to address and e-mail to several e-mail addresses at a time? In Mountain Lion with auto fill turned on, when I type the first letter of an e-mail address, the progress wheel just spins and spins and spins until it finally gives me a list to choose from and I can only select one at a time, then have to it again and again and again to send to several people. Is there another way?

Why Can't I slide email addresses from MAIL to ADDRESS BOOK :-(

Am I missing something?
Why can't I slide all the email addresses from an email to a group in my Address Boob. I am shocked that this is not easily possible.
Am I missing the easy way to do this?

In addition to the suggestions, [Mails Scripts|http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html] has an applescript that will collect all the addresses in an email and give you the option to select a subset and save to a group or make a new group.

How can I use multiple email-addresses with "Administration Email Address"

What syntax should I use to have more email-adresses in the screen "Manage Service - Instance Settings - Email" after the field "Administration Email Address".
I tried:
- '[email protected]','[email protected]'
- '[email protected], [email protected]'
- '[email protected]; [email protected]'
- "[email protected]','[email protected]"
- "[email protected], [email protected]"
- "[email protected]; [email protected]"
Every time I get the ORA-29279 / 501.
Please help me with the right syntax for multiple email-addresses.
Thanx!
reg.
Chris

From a google search of the docs, it looks that that field is used as a FROM address... hence it's by definition only one address.
Administration Email Address - Defines the "from" address for administrative tasks that generate email, such as approving a provision request or resetting a password.

How to use FaceTime using an email address

How can you use multiple email addresses for FaceTime purposes?

Each device would have a separate email address. The email address would be registered as THE facetime email address for that device. Each device must be on Wifi in order to initiate a Facetime session. It does now work via cellular (3G/4G).

HT201342 My iTunes account is under my @yahoo email address and I became accustomed to my @Me email and now like the idea of the @iCloud email address that was made. My question is can I change my iTunes account to my @iCloud name without losing my purcha

My iTunes account is under my @yahoo email address and I became accustomed to my @Me email and now like the idea of the @iCloud email address that was made. My questions are....can I change my iTunes account to my @iCloud name without instead of my @yahoo name without losing my years snd years of purchases ? Can I also create an @Mac address ? ....or is my @yahoo and my @iCloud already recognized as the same by apple and my purchases would already be fine as well as restoring my devices ?

Your purchases are permanently tied to the Apple ID (account) used to purchase them. They can't be moved to another account and you can merge accounts. You can start making new purchases with your iCloud ID if you want, but you will end up with two sets of purchases under two different IDs, adding further complication to your life.
Also, your @icloud email address is an alias of your existing @me address; emails sent to either address will be routed to the same inbox. You can decide which one you want to use as your default (as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5441) but you can't separate them.
