Configure mail with only an alias

Hello
I have an iCloud principle mail and i created an alias for my wife.
She has her proper macbook, and i want to configure their mail application with only the mail destinate for her mail ( alias ).
How can i proceed ?
Is it better to create a new icloud account for her ?
Thanks.

Unfortunately you cannot do that, you will need to create an iCloud account just for her.

Help to configure Mail with Exchange

I already configured my exchange email on my iPad, using the following info:
1) email
2) server
3) domain
4) username
5) password
and everything works fine.
My problem is how to configure the same email account with my iMac.
The preference panel is quite different.
a) Domain is not requested (or there isn't a specific field in the config pane)
b) Two servers are mentioned: internal and external
c) In the advanced setting Tab are mentioned the internal and external server paths
d) still in the advanced settings are also requested the internal/external port
Considering that with my iPad I didn't have to configure any of this and that with OS Mail ot's not working, can somebody please help to set it prperly?
Thanks!

It's been a while since I set up my account so I may be misremembering, but you probably will not need to specify a domain. When you go to create your account, make sure you select Exchange 2007 as your account type. Put in your email information in the first screen as appropriate and click Continue. In the Add Account window, you'll see a field for user name. Put in your account ID there. Click Continue. Click Create in the Account Summary window and you should be good to go (it works that way for us, anyway, no domain specification required).
Hope this helps.

How to configure mail client to only download headers(titles) of emails

Hi there?
I have 10 different email accounts (for some weird reasons that i think irrelevant fir this question), and i want to use Mail app as my main client. iCloud, hotmail, yahoo, gmail, other imap and pop etc.
Now the mail client is trying to download everything from the servers which is gigs of storgae space. I need to configure mail to only download titles of emails, not the entire email with attachments etc.
I can do that very simply in MS Outlook, and even in the old outlook express client.
How can i do that in Mavericks mail client please? I looked everywhere
Thanks

Try going to the web based site and see if you can set up a temporary folder there. Move anything you don't want to download to that folder.

!! WARNING !!
about the September 2012
"Security Update 2012-004"
If you've got "Mail.app" in a folder OTHER THAN the root "Applications" folder,
MOVE "MAIL.APP" TO THE APPLICATIONS FOLDER
**BEFORE** INSTALLING THE "004" UPDATE!!
Because *IF* you use OSX's integrated Software Update app from the Apple menu to do the "004" updating, and *IF* your Mail.app is NOT in the Applications folder, then buddy, you've got some sitdown fixit time ahead of ya and/or some internet tie-up time downloading the "004" update file itself.
Been through it all, already. In fact, just got done getting my Mail back up & running. And I tried everything short of attempting to unpacking my "Mail.pkg" receipt file using... whatever... even Pacifist couldn't get it out. So that fixit "Plan D" died quick. And I'm not savvy enough to use Terminal commands to do "Plan E," so that SUDO stuff was my brick wall.
So I compressed my entire "Mail" subdirectory that contain all my emails, for safekeeping during the required surgery, or whatever would work, leaving the original Mail directory where it was. In case something bad happened in all my fixit whatevers, the one thing I *didn't* want to cross paths with was a hosed Library -> Mail folder. Then I'd be pssd. But I can wipe out that ZIP now 'cause all's well now. After 6 hrs of downloading thru a mobile broadband hotspot running at only 14KB/sec speed due to my having gone over my T-Mobile hotspot plan's bandwidth amount (throttled-down after reaching the limit, tho not cut off completely. Kinda nice, but it's a huge speed drop).
I tried moving the two Mail.app versions around, compressing them & then trashing the original so they wouldn't be recognized, blabla, even booted my Mac in Safe Mode & reinstalled the "MacOSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) Update Combo.dmg" update file, which in the past has fixed many problems. But after restarting, not this one.
Like a dummy who ignored knowing better, I had my Mail.app in a folder other than the Applications folder, with only an alias to that being in the Applications folder. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. The updater don't see that as nuthin special or useful.
So if you've got, like I've got, "old" icons for Mail.app (v4.5) in your Finder toolbar & in your Dock that all point to "Mail.app v4.5" in whatever folder you've got that in, other than in the Applications folder (where Apple apparently REQUIRES that it be located, and ONLY there, at least for OSX updating purposes), then after you download & autorun that "004" updater using Software Update, NONE of your pre-existing Mail icons will work. And MOST aggravatingly, **NOR** will your brand-new "Mail.app v4.6" work that came out of the "004" updating installation. So basically, your Mail.app's... all of 'em.... are hosed. But only if you run the "004" update without your "Mail.app v4.5" being located in your Applications folder and ONLY in your Applications folder. And duplicates of Mail.app, scattered around your HDD?? Always a problem with many Apple apps.... The Apple software engineers apparently like 'em to be in the Applications folder, and in ONLY there, and ONLY the latest version, and ONLY 1 single copy of each on your entire HDD. They just don't seem to stress that enough, it appears. Kind of an oversight for them to not emphasize that, IMO...
My recommendation for this particular September 2012 "004" update:
If you run Software Update, and if you see the "Security Update 2012-004" listed as available for download, UNCHECKMARK IT. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT USING SOFTWARE UPDATE ! Instead, download the actual update file itself.
Same thing, only a different way of doing it. Most importantly, you'll be skipping the auto-installation that Software Update performs.
AND you'll have that update file on your HDD for future fixits, should a nasty "unfixable" problem come up.
First, #1. Do a filename search for "Mail" (Option-Command-Spacebar). Scroll down to where the "Apps" are located in the list under the "Kind" column heading. First, find your Mail.app that's v4.5. Get that bugger into your Applications folder if it's not already there. Next, Trash all other "Mail.app" apps you see in that same list that you may have elsewhere on your HDD.
#2. Go here: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586
And download the actual "004" DMG update file: "SecUpd2012-004.dmg"
And of course, it's a biggie.... 270MB... so watching grass grow may be involved here if you've got a slow connection (go to a MacDonalds & do it, like I shoulda done).
3. After downloading, I'd recommend closing down all apps, emptying the Trash, and restarting.
Then, after restarting, run Disk Utility's "Repair Disk Permissions."
Then, doublecheck that the Mail.app version 4.5 is in your Applications folder.
THEN fire up & install "SecUpd2012-004.dmg."
Reboot.
After the reboot, your Mail.app version 4.5 in the Applications folder will have become Mail.app version 4.6 in the Applications folder, and all will be well again.
And you can dump that zipped-up "Username -> Library -> Mail" folder then, too.
Happy Mac'in!

Exchange 2010 dag with only 2 servers

I have my exchange 2010 running on win server 2012 R2 and I have installed another exchange 2010 server with the same FQDN and I want to configure DAG with only these 2 servers. Can I implement DAG with only 2 servers?Can the mailbox,client access and hub
transport roles still work with only 2 servers? If Mailbox and Hub transport could work it will be fine for me as CAS switchover can always be done manually.My main concern is securing data. Any article on how to implement that would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Yes, we can create a DAG with 2Servers and Each server can have upto 100 database depends upon Standard or Enterprise.
Here is a great link that explains about DAG

Configuring Mail for using with an .me account alias?

I'm trying to configure Mail.app for my daughter (parental controlled new user)
I have an alias of my primary account and it works fine.
I would like to let her use Mail.app ONLY for that alias.
Without access to the main account, an inbox mailbox just for the alias and nothing else.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!

Without access to the main account, an inbox mailbox just for the alias and nothing else.
That's impossible. You need to set up a Family Pack subaccount if you want separate mailboxes.

How to configure mail accounts with a DualSim Card

Hi all!
I have a BB 8520 and a Dual Sim Card (two lines in the same SIM, the work one and the personal one).
I have a corporate account Lotus Notes mail (with BES server) configured with the work line and i want also to configure my private mail account in my personal line, but when i think it's done, i get no messages in it nor i can send anything. Is it not possible? It is, to configure the work mail in the work line and when i boot my personal line, to receive via BIS my personal mail.
I need your help.
Thanks in advance

You can only have the PIN/IMEI of the device associated with one SIM or BIS/BES account at one time.
Each time you swap lines you will be required to re-enter/re-register the device with the associated account.
So, it is possible... I would never want to go through that hassle.

Only one user don't get mails with IMAP

Strange Problem.
I have stored 4 accounts on my iPhone and get mails only from 3 from the same PO.
With my own account "rupert" I get a message:"Server mail.company.at does not respond"
But i can send mails with my account very well.
This error occurs after moving all users into a new postoffice.
But all other user accounts are working well.
On the iPhone I have checked my own password, mail address, port and so on.
I have deleted my account in consoleone and create it new. Connected with the existing PO-User "userqtn.db".
On my workstation i can login with Groupwise-Client 8.0.3 without any problems.
The Groupwise Client works well and it must be a problem with my user ID and IMAP.
But I do not find the error.
What could be the reason for this problem?
The POA shows me the correct login:
09:30:55 0FA8 IMAP-Anmeldung GW-Benutzer-ID:[icom] von 192.168.101.12 IMAP-Befehl:["***"]
09:30:56 14CC IMAP-Anmeldung GW-Benutzer-ID:[rupert] von 192.168.101.12 IMAP-Befehl:["***"]
09:30:56 14CC IMAP-Anmeldung GW-Benutzer-ID:[sr] von 192.168.101.12 IMAP-Befehl:["***"]
09:30:56 14CC IMAP-Anmeldung GW-Benutzer-ID:[admin] von 192.168.101.12 IMAP-Befehl:["***"]
best regards Rupert

When you login with your "rupert" account on the GroupWise client, is your Mailbox folder directly in the Root (home folder) i.e. not under some other folder?
Perhaps to be on the safe side, run a GWCheck against your user account.
Use either the standalone version of GWCheck or run the same check from ConsoleOne with following options (described here for a standalone version):
1. Database type -> Post Office
2. Database Path -> use a browse button to navigate in a location where is a wphost.db, the Post Office database
3. Post Office Name -> fill in a Post Office name.
4. Object type -> select User/Resource and type either a MailboxID or directly a user database file name.
5. Action -> leave default Analyze/Fix Databases.
6. Activate (only) Contents and Fix problems check boxes.
7. Database tab -> activate only the User option
8. Misc tab -> here type a string resfldr (or use alias string folderreset)
9. Run.
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers,
YESS!!
Thank you very much!!!

Configure Mail to have only the 50 last messages.

Is it possible to configure Mail to have only the 50 last messages, as it is on iPhone?
Thanks.

Ok, thanks for the tip.
But It is not exactly what I want to do. Maybe it is not possible.
In th iPhone mail app, you can configure your imap acount to be synchronised with your mail sever loading only the 50th last messages, in order to save spaces in your iPhone. I am looking for this opotion on my macbook, for the same reason.

How can i link my E-mail with my iPad in a way that i can delete my messages from my email inbox server not from my iPad inbox only?

How can i link my E-mail with my iPad in a way that i can delete my messages from my email inbox server also not from my iPad inbox only?
Because when i delete emails from my iPad inbox, it will be deleted on my iPad only but when i check my email inbox server from the browser its not deleted!
So how can i set up this link so when i delete any email from my iPad it will be deleted from my email inbox server also?

Hi Pierrot10,
Insert your backup disc (or plug your external hd), then open Mail.
In the File menu, click *Import Mailboxes* and follow the steps for a *Mail for Mac OS X* transfer.
Navigate to your CD/DVD's or external HD's backup and hit "OK".
This should create a new "Imported" folder in Mail with all your old messages in it, that you can then rearrange as you wish, creating new mailboxes etc.

How can i configure yahoo chat mail with ichat

Hi Everyone,
Can anybody explain how to configure yahoo mail with ichat, I did it already and its working properly with text chat but the voice and video features are not available.

Hi,
This will work if you have a Mac contact who also has Yahoo set up in iChat.
At iChat 3 the Jabber Option was introiduced.
This also has been that Mac to Mac (iChat to iChat) is need to make Audio of Video chats.
iChat will not Video chat to the Standalone GoogleTalk app on PCs or the Web Based chat on Google Mail or iGoogle pages, whether PC of Mac. (GoogleTalk is a Jabber Server).
The Yahoo option in iChat is no different. (You need an iChat Buddy with a Yahoo account).
