Change iCloud alias to main e-mail and main e-mail to an alias

Is it possible to change and iCloud alias to your 'main' e-mailaddress and move your current 'main e-mailaddress' to the alias? PS: this is not Apple ID related.
As an example I have 1 main e-mail address chosen when I setup iCloud, but I would like to use one of my 2 aliasses as 'main e-mail' and move the originally chosen e-mail address to the alias position.
Thank you.

Julian,
I've got a .me account, which is also now an iCloud account (I have two of these).
I've created three iCloud aliases for this account, and I now want to change one of them.
I can change the alias Full Name, but, although I can select the Alias Address, I can't change it.
Any ideas how to do this would be helpful.
Regards

HT4929 I moved to ICloud but on my main PC (IMac) I've lost all e-mails at Mail and cannot use Mail anymore as my regular e-mail. What do I have to do to synchronize with ICloud?

Please always post your system when you have a query - in this case it makes a considerable difference to the answer.
Is your system pre-Lion? Earlier systems are not compliant with iCloud but you can set Mail up manually to access your iCloud email:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger

Hello sstan114,
Great question! What type of email account are you using? Most email providers these days offer IMAP accounts (as opposed to POP). With IMAP, your changes should reflect across your devices (for example: if you read an email on your iPhone, it should be marked as read on your iPad). For more information about IMAP, see this resource:
iCloud: IMAP
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2585
In some cases, you may need to contact your Email provider or check out their online resources for information on how to setup your account as IMAP. The following article outlines some important information you’ll want to gather:

HT5361 I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?

I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?

Thank you Carolyn, How helpless you can feel without this App!
Going into the App Store as you suggest, I see 'thee updates available", the first says, 'X RESTART', the second says, 'Garage Band, an error has occurred" (in red), and the third 'Memory Clean, UPDATE'.
Am I correct in thinking that OSX is the problem, because it is waiting for a restart?
Kind regards,

Apple Mail and Yahoo Web Mail won't work when iPhone Email Active

It is interesting that when I have my iPhone email active, if I try to download messages to Apple Mail on a regular computer, I get the enter password screen over and over (password is already in the system) so I never get mail. Also when I have my iPhone active I get an error message on Yahoo Web Mail. When I turn off my iPhone email, I get access to both Apple Mail and Yahoo Web Mail. I have tested this on several occasions and it always happens like this. Would like not to have to turn off my iPhone email when I go to a regular computer to access Apple Mail or Yahoo Web Mail.

dddog,
Are you accessing the Yahoo email or the email on your computer as POP3?
If so this article would apply:

ICloud Mail issues: "Cannot Load Mail" and "Cannot Get Mail"

I'm currently experiencing issues when trying to access iCloud Mail which is visible in two places:
- on a iOS device (iPad and iPhone): when opening Mail.app and trying to check my iCloud Inbox:
      "Cannot Get Mail" "The user name or password for 'iCloud' is incorrect."
   - on http://www.icloud.com: when clicking the Mail icon:
     "Cannot Load Mail" "Help Apple improve iCloud by reporting this problem." [Reload] [Report to Apple] [Close Mail]
Oddly enough synching Contacts and Calendar items works fine on the iOS device (so username and password are obviously correct), and logging onto http://www.icloud.com using these credentials with use of all other application icons (Contacts, Calendar, Find my iPhone) seems to work also.
I created a "free" me.com account to enable "Find my iPhone" when iOS 4 was released (which doesn't include mail), and already had a Apple ID. Presumably these got merged now, maybe contributing to the issue?
iCloud is only available to me through the web or my iOS devices, I currently don't have Lion installed.
Suggestions?

I am in the exact same boat:
I was a MobileMe subsciber who migrated to iCloud
MobileMe ID was [email protected]; Apple ID [email protected]
All iCloud services work as intended EXCEPT mail
I can access iCloud Mail by:
Mail.app in Lion
When I access my iCloud mail on my iOS devices, I get "The user name or password for 'iCloud' is incorrect." I know for a fact the password is correct, and all other services work.
When I access iCloud online, again all services EXCEPT mail work. Here, I get the "Cannot Load Mail." message
Has anyone resolved this; or is this an Apple issue? This is driving me crazy.

HT5312 Hey I don't know and question to any of the answers I made and my friend was the one that made my rescue mail and the rescue mail was a fake so please help me change my security questions

My friend made my apple I'd with a fake rescue mail and now I can't reset the security questions that I forgot and all because of that I can't sow load anything payable. Please help:(

Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you didn't previously set up a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can assist with recovering lost answers.

Disguise outgoing "From" in Mail and/or .Mac mail

Whether I'm emailing from the web or my computer, Mail won't allow me to mask my outgoing name. I want my clients to get emails from my personal account name [email protected] NOT the Mail account name: [email protected] No matter what I try, there's no covering up the mac.com. I'd even send all email with the apple logo at the bottom if I could make it come from keenbee.com.
I use Entourage and GoDaddy (web email) and hate them! The only reason I use them is because I can send using the keenbee.com name. I want to use Mail and .Mac again for email but won't since it makes the company look a bit unprofessional, unestablished and confuses clients when they get an email from [email protected]
To summarize: I won't want to use Mail if I can't change my outgoing name from mac.com to keenbee.com.
I just want to mask my my email coming from mac Mail to reflect the keenbee.com name! Sorry for the redundancy, this has been difficult to explain.
thank you for your time and help!

This will help you do what you want your email to do.
1. Make sure in entourage you have your mobile me account set up and it is working correctly by pushing mail.
2. set up an account for your @keenbee.com account.
3. make the @keenbee.com account you default account for sent emails which actually doesn't help.
4. forward all of your @keenbee.com mail to your @me.com account. you will have to go to go daddy to do this if that is where your @keenbee.com settings are.
5. make a rule under your tools menu in Entourage that all of your sent mail go's into your mobileme sent folder.
6. make sure when you are sending your email you will have to pick from the two accounts you want it to be sent from. After you press new for a new email you will have a drop down menu to which you can choose which account you want it to be sent from. I can't figure out how to make the email you always want it to be sent from default. When ever you have one of the mobileme folders selected it always starts the email with the mobileme account even if you have your other email address pick as default account in settings.
you can make a kinds of rules for your mail which i am sure you are aware of under the tools menu bar.
the reason you are having your @keenbee.com mail forwarded to your mobileme email account is to that it turns it from a pop email to imap email.
When you send out the email from your @keenbee.com account in Entourage it is sending it out in pop. But when you apply the rule to it it changes it to imap email. **make sure when setting up your rules you set them up with the imap setting. Also in the rules there is an outgoing tab. this is where you will setup sent mail rule that will put your sent mail into your mobileme sent folder.
This works for me. All of my email accounts are forwarded to mobileme which I receive in Entourage and i send all of my emails from Entourage out to my clients. Everything is insync.
Only problem is when you send emails from your iphone. Haven't found away yet to send them and make them show up from the email i want them to be coming from instead of the @me.com.

What is it with the application "mail" and the Yahoo mail servers that is in conflict all the time. We have reconfigured the settings and done everything possible and the "mail" application is still conflicted.... Running Lion 10.7.4

I know it is a pretty long question and am unsure if it can be answered, but have had just a lot of trouble with the Yahoo mail servers... Where could a man go and get the mail application, I can not find it in the app store. It is my thought maybe to just replace the app I have with another mail application and reconfigure everything and go from there. But I do not know where the mail application can be found.

See this blog posting for Yahoo mail set-up details for the Apple Mail.app tool.

Use action to send e-mail and attach e-mail to docflow

Hello guys,
I am having troubles achieving the following:
My task is to create an action for a specific transaction type and send out an e-mail (I already finished this part). The e-mail should be available in the transaction history of the transaction.
I created an action profile and an action for leads and used the method call to be able to use BAdI EXEC_METHODCALL_PPF. Based on implementation CRM_COMPL_MAIL I was able to send out my e-mail with a custom mail form.
Now the question is how can I put this e-mail to the doc flow of the business transaction (lead)?
Does somebody have an idea how to achieve that?
Best regards
Sascha

Hello,
in the meantime I achieved the following:
- Implemented custom method for action
- method is triggered when a new lead is saved
- custom method determines a mail form and creates an e-mail with function modules CRM_ERMS_MAIL_COMPOSE and CRM_ERMS_MAIL_SEND
- create an custom activity with a Z process type for e-mail
- attach the activity to the lead to make it available in the transaction history
Now I am having troubles with putting the content of the created e-mail to the activity. Can somebody help me here? I am trying to achieve that by using BOL programming and putting the content to BTHeaderTextSet and BTTextHAll of the BTOrder that I created for the activity.
Best regards
Sascha

Duplicate E-mails and Vanished E-mails

Earlier this week I added a new POP e-mail address to my account - and a couple of things have happened. First I lost all the downloaded e-mails in one existing mailbox - they came up in the list but when I clicked on them - a note came up saying I needed to take the account online - it was online. All new e-mails come in - but the old ones vanished. I then pressed the "refresh" button thinking it might bring them back - but after that even the headings vanished.
Secondly - now a new event has occured as of this morning - I am receiving two copies of every e-mail addressed to one of my three mailboxes. I have checked my preferences and do not have the same incoming address for any of them.
My provider is Earthlink. Any suggestioins?

What does “I added a new POP e-mail address to my account” mean? Is that the only thing you did? Could it be that you created a new mail account, then deleted it, for example?
I then pressed the "refresh" button
What do you mean? There is no such thing as a “refresh” button in Mail...
I have checked my preferences and do not have the same incoming
address for any of them.
Not sure what you mean here either. What identifies a mail account are the User Name and the Incoming Mail Server, not the Email Address. If the username and the incoming mail server are the same, then both accounts are the same, no matter what the email address is...

Intranet email with apple mail and windows live mail on LAN

i have a home wifi network and have two computers using it. one is my macbook and other is my toshiba vista laptop. now my bro and i often exchange emails. he uses windows live mail and i use apple mail. since we are on a slow internet connection with limited data usage per month i was wondering if we could email each other directly over our wifi LAN network without having to use our ISP. i know that we wont be able to use our gmail, yahoo or hotmail or other such internet based IDs but maybe we can make a LAN based ID and exchange emails.
any suggestions?

There's no practical, simple way to do that as far as I know. Apple Mail, like virtually every other mail program is only able to communicate with a mail server, not with another such program.
You would either need to set up a mail server on your LAN (not a trivial task) or you'd have to find a "peer-to-peer" email program and I'm not aware of any such application. Furthermore, in your situation, it would have to be cross-platform (Windows and Mac).
In more technical terms, the email programs we all use are "Mail User Agents" (MUA). An MUA has to communicate with a "Mail Transfer Agent" (MTA), i.e. the email server. An MUA has NO way to communicate directly with another MUA.

Hot to migrate mail and settings from Mail 2.1.3 to Mail 3.5??

I'm migrating everything from a mac G4 running 10.4.11 to a Mac Pro running 10.5.6 - address book, calendar etc was find but I am having problems with Mail.
I want to import the emails, email accounts and other settings if possible such as rules and signatures from Mail 2.1.3 on the G4 into Mail 3.5 on the Mac Pro. I've looked through various postings/articles but are not 100% sure on how it is done? I've had a few botched goes but it inevitably ends up with missing folders, missing email etc
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Phil

Thanks for the suggestion Debbi. After my previous message I was looking at the post 'Mail does not quit or show old messages after 10.4-10.5 migration' and tried the solution suggested there as copied below. Glad to say that it worked.
1. Navigate to your Library folder inside your home folder.
2. Locate the Mail folder and drag it to your desktop.
3. Launch the Mail application.
4. Mail will now ask you if you want import your messages. DO NOT HIT CONTINUE YET.
5. Navigate back to your Library folder inside your home folder. Notice there is a NEW mail folder that was created. You cannot delete this folder yet because it is in use by mail so we will just rename this folder Mail2.
6. Drag your OLD mail folder located on your desktop to your Library folder located in your home folder.
7. Go back to the Mail application and click continue. Your messages and settings should import fine now.
8. Verify that your messages and settings imported correctly and quit Mail. Navigate back to your home Library folder located in your home folder and delete the Mail2 folder.
9. Launch the Mail application again and make sure everything functions correctly.

Google Mail and OS X Mail

I have a Google Mail account and am trying to get it set up in OS X Mail. I followed all the instructions on the Google site on how to configure it to work in Mail but keep getting a password error. I have tried resetting the password and still no go.
Any suggestions ?

Hello,
Did you remember to enable POP mail in the Online GMail settings / preferences screen?
That is often the cause of this problem here. Make sure that you go into Gmail's online settings (in the webmail interface) and enable POP mail checking.
I hope this helps.

Bulk mail, bulk mail, and more bulk mail

I cannot understand this. I have five or six assorted mail accounts that all feed into my Apple Mail. The spam mostly gets filtered out -- by Yahoo or Google-- before I see it. My husband has only one Yahoo account and one Mail account, which has the same preferences set as mine. He gets more than four hundred "Bulk Mail" messages every day. The number of new messages and the number of bulk messages is usually the same. He uses OS 10.6 on a Macbook which I used previously -- without this problem.
Any suggestions as to what I/he should do? Can I just delete the Bulk folder? I have checked and recheched the Yahoo settings; the bulk stuff doesn't show there?
TIA

Yahoo has a blacklist of servers which send out spam.
There are individuals that feel at least some on the blacklist are on it unfairly.
Yahoo routes all of the e-mail from its blacklist to the Yahoo "Spam" folder (along with all of the other spam e-mail).
There are e-mail clients that attempt to address the above issue by selecting the e-mail in Yahoo's "Spam" folder that is there because it is blacklisted and putting it in a different folder commonly named "Bulk Mail".
These "Bulk Mail" folders are often baked into the e-mail client and may be difficult to modify.
