Can't Set up Alias Email on Mac

Hi, I created a new alias email at icloud.com.  However, when I tried to set up that account on Mail on my mac, it won't let me enter an incoming email server.  It is greyed out with mail.example.com in it.
Any thoughts?

Which domain is the alias using, and when did you make it?
Aliases are not accounts, they use the same servers as the account they are aliases of.
Open Mail>Preferences>Accounts. Enter the alias in the box marked alias.

    How can I set up my email so when I delete mail from my Mac it deletes from my iPhone as well?

    That is a function of your email account, if it is an Imap account it will sync, if it's a POP account, it won't.

  • How can I set a password on my Mac Mini so someone else cannot open it and read emails, etc.?

    How can I set a password on my Mac Mini?  Someone else is reading my emails.  I would like to be able to lock it so nothing on it could be seen without a password.  Is that possible?  How?

    So uncheck the automatic login after making sure you know your password and it will require a password on startup.
    You can also go into the security preferences and have the machine lock itself once the screensaver is activated. This is sometimes controlled from the screensaver preferences as well.
    You could also go nuts and activate multiple users where your name appears in the menu bar. When you walk away from the machine you can use that menu to take you to the "login window", effectively locking your machine.

  • 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.

  • Set up alias email address

    How do you set up alias email address in Muse?

    Hi Maura79,
    It's not possible to set up email accounts or aliases from within Muse. You will need to do this through the Business Catalyst admin console.
    However, note that the webHosting plan does not include email. You will need to upgrade to webBasics+ which you can do from within the admin console > Site Settings > Site Management. Once upgraded, navigate to Site Settings > Email Accounts in order to add your email accounts and aliases.
    Thanks,
    Matt.

    I can't set up my email on my ipod touch.  It keeps saying I have to use a valid email address for this account.  Help!

    Hi Annie,
    Make sure when you are setting up your e-mail account that you enter in your entire e-mail address.  If you have a Yahoo (includes any e-mail account associated with Yahoo), G-mail, or Aol after entering in your password it should automatically set up.  Any other e-mail address you will have to manually set the account up.

    You won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

  • How do I set up an alias email with Mac Mail, so that my alias shows up when I send email from my Mac Mail account?

    I am have an email forwarding service, not an email account, which I want to set up as an alias for Mac Mail so that my email appears in the "from" address when I send messages from Mac Mail. I'm having trouble figuring out what I need to do to set up this configuration. Thanks so much for your help!

    There are a couple of ways of doing this. The easiest is probably to just add the secondary address in the Mail.app -> Preferences -> Accounts field.
    The specifics of which vary a little based on the OS/Mail.app version you're running, but in Yosemite:
    Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts
    Select your iCloud account and change the 'Alias' popup menu from your iCloud address to 'custom'.
    Doing this enables the 'Email Address' field. In this field you can enter the email address you want to appear in your From header.
    If you want to use multiple addresses (e.g. your iCloud address and your other alias), you can enter a comma-separated list of addresses - e.g. '[email protected], [email protected]' and then you'll have a pop-up menu on each new message where you can choose the address to use for each outgoing message. You can also set the default address in Preferences -> Composing -> Send new messages from:

  • How can I set up an email user as "send-only" (no mailbox for receiving)?

    Can anyone tell me how I can set up an email account that can send emails but not receive emails.
    Our Web application has been using a generic email address "[email protected]" in all of our PHP Web applications as the sending email account. I have this user set up in WORKGROUP ADMIN as a proper account. However the account gets tons of SPAM emails and is constantly filling up.
    Also, all of the email accounts require SMTP authentication to send emails.
    Is there any way to identify an account as a send only account so we can generate emails from our Web applications that cannot be replied to?
    Thanks for the help
    -- Jon

    Doing so will cause issues. If you send out mail which to an outside server appears to be non existent, mail may be rejected and you may even be blacklisted.
    You can remove the account from WGM and add a role account as an alias send to /dev/null. This will look to the outside world like an existing address, but simply be discarded on your system. You should however include a working address in your mailings for people to be able to respond.
    Assuming you use local domains, edit /etc/postfix/aliases and add:
    noreply: /dev/null
    (you can change noreply with the sender used in your PHP apps, but I'd probably change the PHP apps to use noreply as this signals to people receiving your mails that this address is unattended).
    When done, issue:
    sudo postalias /etc/postfix/aliases
    sudo newaliases
    sudo postfix reload
