Cannot add second iCloud address to mail

I a using OS X 10.9 on MacBook Pro Late 2008.
I have set up a primary iCloud account in Preferences/iCloud,
no problem with it. All (sync) servces work.
Now I want to add a second .me/iCloud acount, especially
to sync mail. But no matter where I try to add the acount
(either Preferences/Internet Accounts or within Mail.app)
it does not work. When I add the second iCloud account
from Preferences/Internet Accounts the account gets
added but there is no checkmark at Mail and Notes.
When I try to set the checkmark, a modal window
opens which ask me to create a new iCloud email.
When I put in my iCLoud email it tells me, that this mail
is already taken - well, that's no surprise.
I can login to iCloud.com with the user
and password but even in the web interface I get an error:
To use iCloud email create a new e-mail address.
But why should I create a new iCloud mail address if
I login in with an iCloud mail address.
The iCloud account has a primary .me address
and an "confirmed" .iCloud alias. And I can login
with both the .me and the .iCloud address.

Found a solution: once I added the account on an iOS device I got a option to create the iCloud address which I just accepted (this time there I am not forced to create a new address). From then I could sync mail and notes from my MacBook and also mails in the iCloud webfrontend started working.

  • How do I add an email address for mail?

    I want to have different email addresses for different members of my family.  Can I and how do i do it?

    There are various e-mail services providers like Yahoo, Gmail, Aol, Outlook etc. You can go to their website and create an e-mail account for each of your family member (I recommend Gmail by Google). Once you have created all the accounts, you can add them to the mail app on the mac very easily. So, go and create e-mail accounts for your family members and then in the Mail app click Mail -> Add Account, select your e-mail service provider and follow the instructions on the screen.

    Just to be clear.
    AIM stands for AOL Instant Message.  So an AIM Password is an AOL Instant Message password.
    An Apple ID issued by Apple (@mac.com and iCloud issued @me.com and @icloud.com  ending IDs) can also be valid AIM Screen Names
    In the past the password at Apple had to comply with the AIM limit of 16 characters.
    I have seen a recent post that suggests that this limit may have changed.
    Try logging in here if the Name was registered at AIM or is an @mac.com name
    https://settings.aim.com/
    (You cannot log in here with an @iCloud.com or @me.com ending ID as there are addtional checks in iChat 6 and upwards that invloved logins to both Apple And AIM at the same time to confirm access to the password).

    -> Clear the Network Cache
    -> Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.

    Check and tell if its working. Hope that helps.

  • Cannot add a gmail account to mail

    My new Macbook Pro 13" laptop arrived the other day and I have not been able to add my gmail account to mail (other mail providers have worked - outlook etc).
    I used an application specific password (as I had 2fa enabled) and then I disabled 2fa and tried my normal password. The following happened on both instances.
    I select 'Google', type my gmail address into the correct field and my password into the correct field. As soon as I press 'Set Up' both fields clear. I re-enter the information and try again, both fields clear upon pressing 'Set Up'. No error messages or anything.
    Please help, what am I doing wrong? Like I said, I've successfully added other accounts. It just seems to be gmail.

    Copy the forwarding and privacy settings in the account that worked on your primary account. Start by making sure IMAP is enabled.
    This is Google's info about setting it up: https://support.google.com/mail/troubleshooter/1668960

  • TS4002 Cannot send/receive iCloud email with Mail

    About a week ago I stopped being able to send/recieve icloud email via mail on my iMac.  Everything is correct in my settings except the incoming server information.  Mail defaults to p03-imap.mail.me.com, and will not let me select or edit this option.  I know all my other settings work correctly because I can access iCloud email via my iPhone, iPad and a Windows 7 laptop running Thunderbird.  However my iMac is my primary computer and I would like to get this issue corrected.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I am trying to determine the reason that the Mail program has stopped working with iCloud.  All of my settings are correct, and have been verified as working with another application (Thunderbird), and work on hand held devices (iPhone and iPad), but will not work within Mail.  The only thing I could find that didn't match the referenced online materials was the p03- portion of the IMAP server address.  If you have any suggestions, I'm happy to listen to them.

  • Cannot add additional email address.

    I am trying to add an additional email account to my iphone but the 'add account' option is grayed out. Help?

    As far as adding alternate e-mail addresses to be associated with a single Apple ID, after going through the steps that you mentioned, you should get a verification e-mail each time you add an additional address.
    As Apple states; "Verify your changes by following the link in the e-mail you will receive from Apple and signing into your account."
    Simply stated, it sounds like you are not verifying the new addresses after you enter them.  I am not sure if the verification e-mail goes to the new e-mail address you added, which is likely, or the original, so check both.

  • Add second email address to Message Center

    I have a second email address on my verizon email account. I don't know how to add that to the message center when I log in. Can someone advise me please? Thank you.

    When you log in to check your Verizon email on the new webmail there is no way to view multiple accounts at once. Your best bet is to use Outlook or another email client and configure that to access multiple accounts.

    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.

  • I cannot add or delete a e-mail account in settings on my iPad

    I can receive and send messages, but I want to delete e-mail account and add a new one, but it will not let me in settings. It will not let me select the account or add an account.

    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.
    Barring any success after a reset, then I suggest that you delete and add the email accounts that you want in the mail app that you use on your computer and then sync those email accounts to your iPad. After attaching your iPad to the computer, in iTunes on the Info tab go to the bottom and in the advanced section check the box to replace the email accounts on the iPad with those on the computer.

  • Add multiple email addresses from Mail to Contacts

    Hi,
    I'm getting frustrated trying to find a solution to something that I thought would be simple...
    A client of mine has the need to exchange emails with a large group of people ( 100 contacts more or less ) and He'd like to be able to bulk add all the contacts in these email (yeah, the contacts are all visible), unfortunately drag and drop is a no go, and Mail makes you add one contact at the time...
    Is there an easy way to capture all the addresses and add them to Contacts? Or export them as .csv? Or any other app to manage them?
    Thanks!
