Can't launch my .Mac email account

What does the message 'We are having trouble fulfilling your last request. Please return to Mac main' mean? I have been getting this since last night. All my other non-Mac email accounts are fine using Safari. Have tried using Firefox on my laptop, but same message appears.
G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

This means, that there is a malfunction on the Apple server serving .Mac to you. This could be during maintenance times or hardware/software faults. These messages are normally just of temporary nature.

How can I get my mac email account to work?

That requires you to enter the configuration correctly. You can find out the configuration for your email from your ISPs website in most cases. Or if you're using Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail you need only Google something like:
"Gmail configuration for Apple Mail" or "Hotmail configuration for Apple Mail" (without the quotes).
That should get you started..

Can I set up an email account in Mac mail if it already exists in mac for outlook?

Can I set up an email account in mac mail if it already exists in mac outlook or do I need to delete the outlook account first? I have tried to set it up and its not working.

Mail and Outlook are two different applications, so you can maintain the same account in both, incl sending and receiving.
What matters is that the setup is correct. E.g., is it a POP3 or IMAP account? By default, IMAP stores all mails on the (ISP's) server, while POP3 usually deletes it there after it's been received. So, with IMAP you'd easily have your mails everywhere, in every client, while with POP3 it's only in the client which you used most recently, so to speak.

Can I have a 2nd .Mac email account on my iPhone?

Sounds like a simple question and I've gone through the settings>email procedure and not readily found an idenifiable way of adding a much needed mac emal address to my emails. Is this possible please?

I don't know if this has changed - this was a 2011 psot after all. But I've always had a 2nd .mac email address on my iphone. Probably for at least 2 years or more as far as I can remember. I set up 2 .mac email accounts a long time back before anyone had heard of the cloud. And it's always worked fine on my iPhone 4 and then the iPhone 5.
Came across this thread - while looking at another issue. Just installed Mavericks and while it will allow me to have my 2 .mac email accounts in the email program, for some reason it's refusing to save the password for the 2nd account.

Can I set up a Mac email account on my old Macbook and iPhone?

I have a Macbook 2.1 (2007 I think) running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard with 2BG Ram, and an iPhone 4S. I would like to set up a Mac email account which will run and sync on both devices. Is this possible? I’d be grateful for any guidance.

Just to clarify, my understanding is that to use iCloud, I would need a Mac which can run Mountain Lion or higher. But my Macbook (as described above) is not capable of running Mountain Lion. Certainly the official Apple site says it's not. I believe some people with similar spec Macbooks are successfully using Mountain Lion but I'd prefer not to try this if it slows my computer down. Unless someone persuades me it'll work fine, I'd prefer an email solution which I could use with Snow Leopard and the iPhone.
I have looked on the official Apple support site and elsewhere but I can't figure out whether it's possible to create some kind of Mac email account (@iCloud or @me?) which would work on my old Mac as well as on my iPhone 4S. I'd welcome any advice..

I have 2 .mac email accounts, one of them has a sub-address. Can I keep all 3 .mac email addresses in iCloud?

You will need to migrate each account seperately using the Move website, the alias will also be migrated to iCloud with whichever account it is under (the only problem with aliases, occurs when you have more than 3 in an account)
When you log into iCloud on the computer running Lion, iCloud will update your mail accounts for you, on the computers running Snow Leopard you will have to set up the mail accounts manually. Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
You won't be able to use your iCloud contacts and calendars on the computers running snow leopard with Address book and iCal, but can access them from the web interface at iCloud.com

I have .me and .mac email accounts on my iPhone 4. I thought I had successfully transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, but something must be wrong. iCloud seems to work fine on my computer and, with the exception of two email accounts, seems to be fine on

I have .me and .mac email accounts on my iPhone 4. I thought I had successfully transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, but something must be wrong. iCloud seems to work fine on my computer and, with the exception of two email accounts, seems to be fine on my phone. Can/should I delete the accounts on my phone and start over? It is somewhat of a nuisance to have two email accounts and double the amount of emails. The only thing different about the two iCloud accounts is the email addresses. Thanks.

Well, seems I managed to unscrew this...I deleted my iCloud mail account and reinstalled it on my phone. That got rid of the duplicate .me/.mac email accounts.

Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified. Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!

Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified.
Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!
So my options are:
Create a new Apple ID, use that and lose all the apps I've purhcased with it (a fairly substantial amount)
Somehow Migrate these purchases over to a new Apple ID
Apple let me change the primary ID for the account
Anyone else ran into this before?
I've tried accessing the mail through a mail application using the correct server information, and trying both the old 6 character password and the one I had to change it too after they updated the security guidelines - neither work.
Help would be greatly appreciated as I can see more services down the line not working without the address being verified!

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should not need to verify the old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How can I delete my Apple email account

Hello -
when Apple made the move from MobileMe to iCloud (and stopped offering web hosting) a couple of years ago I decided that wasn't for me and switched back to a PC. Never looked back. However, it seems my old .Mac email account is still active and people keep sending emails to it which I can't access. How can I deactivate this account?
thanks
Robert

Thanks randers4, for your swift reply. It helps me in the sense that I will not spend much more time trying to deactivate the account. Forwarding from iCloud is not an option as I didn't sign up to iCloud. Well, I couldn't at the time without having to buy a newer machine with stronger processor and newer OS, so I decided to phase out Apple. I still have the old MacBook from 2007 and use it for music and photos. All my professional use however happens on a brand new and powerful HP. But it nags me that I can't get rid of the old account ...
cheers, Robert

Error message when setting up .Mac email account on iPhone

Hi - I've tried Apple support, iphone support, and the submit a question/problem to the mac people with no luck. So, I'm taking my question to the next higher level -- you all.
So here is the issue. I have had a mac email account for years. I buy my cool new iPhone a few weeks ago, and add my main apple mac email account to the iphone. All is good, and I can send/receive email messages from my main account. Then I add = three other email accounts I have on mac for internet/web surfing, and all is good there too. So, now I can access my 4 apple mac accounts on my iphone.
Here is the problem -- a few days ago, my main apple mac account stopped working on my iphone. I can still send/receive email messages via web based mac mail, and I can access all my mail on my laptopn (just like usual). But, now, when I go to check my main mac account on my iphone it says unable to verify username or password.
So, I have tried 100 different times now, all to no avail. I deleted it, rebooted it, tried it as a mac account, an IMAP account, POP account, etc.
I have all the latest versions of itunes, iphone, etc.
So, can anyone help me (pleeeese)......
Thanks, Drew

How to set up additional mac email account?

If I have a mac email address already established, can I set up more than one on my iMac? Seems like the answer is yes, but attempts this morning only bollixed my Mac mail account.

Keep trying that but it crashes. Obviously the 2nd account I tried to set up is creating a disconnect. Answer my basic question first. If I already have a mac /icloud email account established long ago, can I add/establish another mac email account, or do you just get one?

How do you make .mac email account work with Mavericks?

My dot Mac email account does not work with Mavericks, now what do I do?
Ever since I "upgraded" my OS to Mavericks, applications that used to work don't work anymore. It is frustrating. Now I find yet one more thing that doesn't work with Mavericks: my dot mac email account.
Should I be changing my .mac email account to dot iCloud, and how do I do that?
My trusty MacBook is starting to look more and more like Windows with all its "improvements" I'm not very happy. What can I do now?

How do you set up a .mac email account in Outlook?

My .mac email address stopped working in Outlook (2010) on 4/30/12. Is this something to do with the new icloud? I reset my password, but that did not seem to help. I can log in to me.com still, but Outlook still does not recognize something and will not download msg's. Can I still set up an old .mac email account in Outlook? thx

I have a similar problem with my husband's PC. I've finally got iCloud set up for him but Outlook doesn't recognize his iCloud user name/password and won't collect his mail.

My computer has been infected with a Trojan Horse. It has completely taken over my Mac email account and was sending out malicious email to everyone in my address book. At the same time it infected my iPhone---I am no longer able to receive or send emai

My computer has been infected by a Trojan Horse. It has taken over my Mac email account and began sending out malicious emails to everyone in my address book. I cleared out my MAC address book and began using my AOL email account. It took a few days and then my AOL email account was infected and has now been send out malicious email to all my contacts for over a month. It has also infected my iPhone--I am no longer able to send or receive emails on my iPhone. Also, once the Trojan Horse began using my AOL email it completely blocked me from using my MAC account by sending never ending popups asking for my email password to access my MAC email account, but it never accepts my pass word. The TH has also slowed down everything on my computer. It's like I am working on an old PC with dial up connection instead of the high speed digital connection that I have. The little color wheel spins constantly as I wait for sometimes over a minute for a page to pull up. If it pulls up at all. I have tried to use the 2 disks that came with my computer to completely remove everything on my computer and then reinstall all the programs, but I am not allowed to sweep my computer clean. I thought maybe my disks that came with my computer were defective so I called Apple and they sent me 2 new disks. I am not able able to clear my computer with the 2 new disks either. I have done this before successfully so it's not something new to me. I do remember when I believe my computer became infected: I had googled an unusual sewing term, and I was opening what appeared to be legitimate sites, when all of a sudden a pop up appeared that said that my computer had been infected. I immediately shut my computer off, but it was too late. I downloaded a virus program for Mac, and it has never found a virus or problem at all. I think it is part of this Trojan Horse, but I am unable to delete it from my computer. It refuses to uninstall. The Mac Trojan Horse is real and it is terrible. If anyone has any suggestions for me I would be very appreciative,
Beth

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.
