Change capitalization of e-mail address for ATTYahoo server

I have a very annoying and odd problem with our DSL host rejecting our e-mail. Our host, ATT PacBell uses Yahoo to provide their services. They recently required that we register all the e-mail addresses that we are using to send over their servers. However, we are having ongoing issues with our e-mails not being sent out because the server rejects them.
After many attempts at fixing this with our ISP, we think the problem is that somehow the server is seeing our e-mail addresses with our names capitalized: [email protected] The error message that comes up in Mail shows our address that has been rejected with capitalization. The issue is that Yahoo does not like capitol letters in their e-mail addresses according to the techs.
Now, in our e-mail preferences and in our Address Book, our e-mail addresses are all lower case letters: [email protected] I'm unable to locate anyplace that I can change the entry to lower case. I can't even ever remember using uppercase letters in my e-mail addresses.
Any ideas?

Hi, Marcus.
First, I have a hard time believing that Yahoo "does not like capitol letters in their e-mail addresses." I am not saying that you are mistaken and I believe that someone told you that, but upper or lower case letters are interchangeable in the world of Internet messaging. So, I think it is a different problem.
But, is there a way that you can get around the problem? I mean, from your home over your ATT PacBell DSL connection, can't you use your school's email server? (You used XXX.edu as an example, so I am assuming ...)
For example, I have a DSL connection with Verizon. I can send things through their email gateway, but I must authenticate with my Verizon account and password. But, I can also list the mail exchanger for avolio.com as my SMTP server (authenticating with my avolio.com credentials), and likewise for gmail.com.
Can you just send through your university's email gateway and avoid PacBell's silliness?

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.

Hi Mohammed,
You can change the Rescue email address by logging onto your Apple ID at:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Of course, if you do not know your password, and it is asking you to answer your security questions right now, then you can't do that....

E-mail address for server

After trusting the promise of Apple that installing and running a Mavericks Server is easy as pie, I bought and installed the server, i.e. just managed to install a folder named "Locker" in adherence to the instructions. Everything else seems "foolproof" - meaning that only fools should believe such promises.
My next step planned is to install the calendar service because currently it makes me mad to run calenders on each computer in my network. Trying so, I manage to perform only a single step: The software requires a mail address for the server, recommends this : com.apple.calendarserver@mactheknife as the address and rejects it immediately. Stop! (Note: I have installed and run Mac networks since the days of Appletalk in 1987.)
I appreciate the great help by the server. But I need to know what I need to do. As easy as pie - may be, but no idea why I should do what. Plase help …

Your question is probably better off in the OS X Server section. And I don't know much about this, but shouldn't that address look like something as [email protected]?

Will setting up an iCloud e-mail address for Notes change my Apple ID

I am looking to synch Notes on my Mac, iPad and iPhone and apparently need to create a separate e-mail address for iCloud just for Notes. I currently use my Apple ID to log into my iCloud account and since this is an AOL e-mail address cannot be used for Notes. I am concerned that this additional e-mail address will somehow become the default for more than just Notes and cause me problems. Can someone provide some insight?

In order to sync notes with iCloud you have to create an iCloud email account because it uses the email IMAP service to sync notes. You don't have to actually use the email account for email but it does have to be created in order to sync notes. You can just create the @icloud.com address and forget about it. After it's created, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Mail section) and make sure your AOL account is still selected as your default. (If it isn't, tap it to select it). It won't cause any other problems.

I want to change my primary e-mail address that I use with Apple ID - help guide says Select Edit next to "Apple ID and Primary Email Address." But there is no 'edit' on that section there is on every other but not that one. Can anyone help?

You can create an alias @icloud.com email address within your current account that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a). (@me.com addresses are no longer available as new addresses.) Just be aware that you cannot use an alias address later to create a new iCloud account or move it to a different account.
Also, even if you created a new iCloud account with a new ID, your existing purchases would not be lost. They are permanently tied to the original ID you used to purchase them. You can also continue to use the existing ID for the iTunes store; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.

How do I change my registered e-mail address after I've made a new account, but before I verify my Apple ID?

I put in the wrong e-mail address when I tried to make a new Apple account. (The wrong e-mail address is not mine.) So, when it sent me an e-mail for me to verify my Apple ID, the e-mail didn't get sent to my e-mail address. Because of this, I can't log in to this account. How do I edit and change the wrong e-mail address? Please help me...

Well, yesterday, I actually just created another account with the right address. (This was before I saw your reply. ) So, how do I delete the account with the wrong e-mail address?

HT201342 Can I change my icloud e-mail address?

Can I change my icloud e-mail address?

No, only by signing up for a completely new iCloud account.
You can add an email alias to your existing account though.

Someone is using my e-mail address for Apple ID

Hello
I have an e-mail address that I do not use to any Apple devices.
For about 1 week ago I received a mail in Italian saying this:
Dear G******* M******,
You entered gio**** @gmail.com as primary email address for your Apple ID. To complete the task, we have to verify that email address actually belongs to you. Click on the link below and sign into your account using your Apple ID and password.
Check now>
Why did you received this email?
This email is sent when someone adds or changes a contact email address in your Apple. If you have not made any changes do not worry. Your email address can not be used as a contact address for an Apple ID without your verification.
For more information, see the frequently asked questions .
Thank you,
Apple Customer Care
so the problem is that I'm in Greece and someone has put my e-mail address for their Apple ID in Italy...
What can I do?
The problem is that I ignored the e-mail thinkink that if I don't click the verification button noting will happen but instead today I received more than 10 e-mails saying the same thing...
What can I do to prevent these e-mails? and to make the person who is using my e-mail to change it?
Thank you in advance
<Link Edited By Host>

I think you misunderstood me. I don't want an account. I only created one to write here. What I need is for itunes to contact this user and ask him to change his account. I can't believe how it's possible for someone to use my email as his.
I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but I have this mail adress for 12 years and never had something like this before.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
If you have BES, then you need to talk to your BES admin for the proper method to activate your BB on BES.
If you do not have BES, then you should not even be going into anything related to Enterprise email...instead, you should see Internet or Personal email setup in addition to Enterprise. If you do not see Internet or Personal, then your device is not properly activated by your mobile service provider for BIS-level Internet/Personal email services...contact them for assistance.
Good luck and let us know!

How to own the same e-mail-address for different Apple-IDs

Hello
I’m under the impression, that I can’t use the same e-mail-address for iCloud I used already in my Apple-ID for iTunes, because I get no verification mail for the iCloud account. Is this correct or did I something wrong?
Thanks for supporting me
I already raised this question in the iCloud forum, but till now nobody answered - may be the wrong sub-forum

Many thanks for the answer - that's what I suspected. Anyway...
The problem I have now is, that my Apple-ID I used already for some years in order to buy apps is in the "old" format (e.g. duggy832), that means not in the form of an eMail-address. iCloud accept only Apple-IDs in the “new” format meaning in the form like an eMail-address (e.g. [email protected]).
So it needs to modify the old Apple-ID from duggy832 to [email protected] or to “transfer” – if possible – my shopping from Apple-ID duggy832 to [email protected]
Which way is possible, which is safe/secure, which is recommended?
Thanks in advance

My boyfriend knew my apple id and my password and when we broke up he changed it and he changed my alternate e-mail address so i cannot restore it. The problem is that my iPhone activation is linked to iCloud. What can i do? I have old pass and e-mai

My boyfriend knew my apple id and my password and when we broke up he changed it and he changed my alternate e-mail address so i cannot restore it. The problem is that my iPhone activation is linked to iCloud. What can i do? I have old password and old alternate e-mail.

Take it and its purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store and/or click here and contact Apple's Account Security team.

How can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

I have two iPads.. an iPad and an ipad 2. I registared my new ipad 2 and now my old ipad is will not let me log on and is telling me that my e-mail address is already in use. how can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

And by using the same Apple ID you can also share purchases. If you have a different Apple ID for each iPhone then you can't share purchases.
