Can't set up another email for iMessage! Please help!

*Yes. I will repost this discusion if it is sent to the second page with no reply.
I already have two iPhones and an iPod touch, and a Mac set up on my iTunes account. The iPod and Mac each have their own gmail account they use to recieve iMessages (one of them is my Apple ID). The two iPhones each have their own phone number they recieve iMessages from. I now want to set up an iPad on that same iTunes account with iMessage with a third gmail adress to use. When I try to set up iMessage, I am shown the two gmails and phone numbers from my other devices but no option to add another email like all the tutorials say. Is there a limit of 2 emails or something? There is no way I am making a new Apple ID just for iMessage. I tried to look for the option in Messages and Settings. Please tell me if there is a way I can add a third email.

    No, there is no "Add account..." button like in the screenshot walkthroughs. Is there some kind of limit? Why won't it let me add another email?

    You asked 3 or 4 times.  
    You say you already set up the gmail account App, so you must have added this gmail already???  If you didn't you could not get mail in the App.
    When you set up iMessage on the iPad, it must be set up with the unique gmail address.  There is no limit to email addresses.  I have 4 on mine in iMessage, all unique, one is my iCloud.

  • After doing maverick update, i can't type into my email. will you please help me?Thisproblem did not start until i did the upgrade.

    Hello folks, sorry about the panic, but my brother is dying and this is the only way i can get hold of the family. They live in another state and are very very poor. so, I kept getting this upgrade notification through safari and so I upgraded to maverick 10.9.5 but when I did, I noticed I could no longer type into my email through safari. It was working fine until then. please help me. thanx....

    1. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Test.
    2. Select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • How can I set up another email client to send mail as my dotmac account?

    My business uses an online application that can send emails to our customers as long as we provide it with an email account. I used the following from my mail.app:
    SMTP HOST: smtp.mac.com
    SMTP PORT: 25
    SMTP_AUTH: true
    SMTP USER: cryogen (my dotmac account and email)
    SMTP PSWD: ****** (my dotmac password)
    But, I cannot seem to get this to work. I tried it with another account I have with COMCAST.NET and I was able to successfully send emails using that account.
    Is there something special about a dotmac account that I am missing?
    Thanks.

    The information you’ve provided now is what I was asking for. Unfortunately, it’s still insufficient. It’s critical to know here whether the SMTP server does actually accept or reject the request of the mail client to send the message. Any conventional mail client would allow you to know that. In Mail, for example, you know that the message has been sent because Mail puts it in the Sent mailbox (whether the message arrives at the destination is an entirely different issue). And if the SMTP server rejects the message for some reason, Mail will report what the reason is.
    Whether I’ve actually set up a different mail client to send with a .Mac account is irrelevant -- I don’t even have a .Mac account, for that matter, nor do I need one. Gee, if I needed to have the same accounts as the people I help, I couldn’t be here. Fortunately, I just need to know how email works and what the idiosyncrasies of some email services are, if any.
    Try setting up your .Mac account using a conventional alternative mail client, such as Thunderbird, and you’ll see that you can do that with no problems -- or, if you have problems, it should be pretty clear what they are exactly and how to fix them.

  • Blackberry curve 8520 using gmail - can only recieve NOT send emails!! please help!!

    Hello.
    I have been using gmail on my blackberry for a month without problems,  it just comes straight to the inbox on the main screen of the phone.
    Today my Blackberry stopped sending emails but still recieves them. When I try to delete anything in the inbox, it merely gives them a "yellow" star but does not remove them.
    How can I resolve this?! I am really desperate!!
    I have tried deleting gmail account and starting again, but this does not work. Nor does asking for servicebooks.
    Any idea?
    Solved!

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!!
    I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB):
    1) Register HRT
    Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > (it does not matter which line is current) > Register Now
    2) Resend Service Books
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    3) Batt Pull Reboot
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your BIS conduits for the affected email accounts.

Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

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

    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.

  • How can I set up auto respond for email

    How can I set up auto respond for email?

    Hey there jimmac169,
    It sounds like you want to have the Mail app automatically reply to emails that come in. You can do this in the app itself, but in order for the function to work, Mail needs to be open. Take a look at this info from the following article:
    Mail (Yosemite): Reply to, forward, or redirect messages
    Automatically reply to or forward messages
    Mail must be open before it can automatically forward or reply to messages. If you want to send automatic replies when Mail isn’t open—like when you’re on vacation—check with the provider of your email account. 
    Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Rules.
    Click Add Rule, then type a name for the rule.
    Indicate whether any or all of the conditions must be true for the rule to be applied.
    Set the conditions that determine which messages to automatically reply to or forward.
    Choose options from the “Perform the following actions” pop-up menu.
    Forward messages: Choose Forward Message from the first pop-up menu, then enter the email addresses where you want to receive the forwarded messages. Click Message, then enter any text you want to include with the forwarded message. For example, you could explain that you’re automatically forwarding messages. 
    Reply to messages: Choose “Reply to Message” from the first pop-up menu, click “Reply message text,” then enter your reply. Mail includes the full text of the original message in your reply. 
    Click OK.
    Carefully consider the rules you create. If they’re too broad, messages can be sent inadvertently or create loops (replies to replies you sent). If possible, test the rules. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • HT204053 we have moved over to iCloud but now we need a another email for a blog we are doing can we add another email but not alias

    we have moved over to iCloud but now we need a another email for a blog we are doing can we add another email but not alias

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can add an alias but not a second email address to your iCloud account. You can however add a second iCloud account to your iOS device (which will come with its own email address) at settings> mail, contacts calendars.
