Changing email address in Mail

I have to change my @virgin.net email address which I've been using for ages to a @gmail.com one. I'm unsure what will happen if I use the new Mail setup assistant on my iMac - will I then have access in Mail to the two accounts prior to me closing the old one? That would be great.
I also have mail set up on a MacBook which I use when travelling.  Do I just do the same on that?
Any other tips gratefully received but please note I'm not great at this - no jargon please.

You can have more than one email address at the same time.
In Mail Preferences > Accounts, click the + sign and add a new account.
You old one will still exist, even if it does not get much use.

  • How can I change email address on my ICloud account?  It won't let me change old e-mail address.

    How can I change email address on Icloud?  It won't let me delete old email address so I can enter new email address.

    Are you trying to change the email address which forms the login? Or the @icloud.com address you created when you opened the account? You can't change the latter.
    You can change the login address as long as it isn't an @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address.
    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Create a new email address, for example  at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

  • How to delete an email address in Mail

    A friend of mine has just changed his email address but I cannot remove his old one from Mail. I have added his new address and removed the old one from my Address book but his old address still comes up as the default when starting a new email to him.
    Any ideas would be appreciated...Cheers...

    Biggest apologies thought I was writing about iOS!?
    Am I also wrong about that too in iOS?

    It appears because your mail app remembers a history of addresses.
    It cannot be deleted but I think it will disappear after a certain time.

  • Cut and Paste email addresses in Mail

    I have been frustrated when copying and pasting email address in Mail.
    When I copy an email address that is also in my Address Book from the "FROM" field and paste it somewhere else, the NAME of the contact always appears along with the email address in "" brackets.
    Is there some kind of setting I can change to ONLY get the email address and not the contact name and those dumb little brackets?

  • How do i erase a bad email address from mail?

    Hello,
    I once miss typed an email address in mail and it haunts me everyday. If I type the first three letters of the persons name, which is my habit, the bad address is attached to the mail. The result is that I get a server error when i try to send the mail. Then I have to save it as a draft in order to change the address to the correct one by typing fewer of more letters of the recipients first name. I would save myself allot of frustration if I knew where mail stores address shortcuts.
    Thanks very much

    Start by making a new message. Now type in the start of the mistake. When you see the mistake allow it to be put in the To: line. It should appear as a normal address with the little blue button around it. Now right click on the address and pick the choice *Remove From Previous Recipients List*. This should clear that mistake out. I just tried it and it worked for me.

  • I just changed email addresses. TB keeps forwarding copies of emails to new address to the old one

    I can't find a place where TB directs emails in any account to a default account. Having just changed email addresses. I have have two accounts in my TB program. For each email I receive, at either account, I get a message saying it was forwarded to the old account and is undeliverable, since the isp has shut down that account. How do I change or delete that automatic forwarding? I have not deleted that account from my TB list yet, since I am still working through the files left there to decide whether to move or delete the individual emails. Will simply deleting that old account solve the problem?

    You'll need to login to your account via browser and check the settings for your account.
    There is no such thing as a 'Thunderbird account'. Thunderbird is an email client you use to retrieve mail from an account you setup with your email provider.

  • How do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail

    how do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail?
    I cant seem to add it. any ideas why it cant connect to the server? what server address should i be using?
    regards
    Brendon

    Hi bmuur,
    I also had the same problem.
    I clicked Microsoft Exchange and kept trying to add my hotmail account that way but it kept asking for a server address for it to work.
    If you go into Internet Accounts and instead of clicking Microsoft Exchange scroll down to the bottom of the list and click Add Other Account...
    It will ask what sort of account you want to be created and I selected Add Mail Account and clicked create.
    Enter your full name, hotmail email address and password.
    I then clicked create and it worked for me.
    Hopefully this solves your problem.

  • Changing email address on iCloud account

    My email was hacked a while ago, and I managed to change email addresses on most accounts I can't seem to change the address on my iCloud account, any help please?????!!!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • I have an iPhone 5 and after changing email addresses am having syncing issues with Outlook.

    My calendar syncs from my computer to my iPhone but not from my iPhone to my computer.  It used to sync both directions.  I'm guessing the same is true of contacts.  I've gone through all the tabs in iTunes.  The calendars are checked properly but I can't find anywhere to say update information on computer using information of the iPhone.  I fell like that used to be an option.  I've tried restarting everything to no avail.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    And I forgot to mention I have just changed email addresses so with the old email it was all working then with the new email I'm only functioning one direction.

  • Export email addresses from Mail?

    Is there any way to export email addresses from Mail into a CSV file? I know I can push it to Address Book then export but that mixes all the exports in with my existing addresses.

    If you know SQL, you could export out of the previous recipients database file inside your user/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder. It's a sqlite3 database.
