Creating a separate email address for my husband on our iMac.

I have an icloud account/email address but now I want to create a new separate email address for my husband to use.  I am still using Leopard on my iMac, I did not upgrade to Lion.
I am not sure how to go about doing this and I haven't found anything on apple.com to help me either. Its all very confusing. Please help! Thanks!

You can create an 'email alias', which is an extra address (not account) which delivers into the main inbox - so your and his emails would be mixed up. You do this at http://me.com - go to the Mail page, click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose 'Preferences' - go to the 'Accounts' pane and click the '+' button below the list.
If you want to keep your emails separate he will need to create a new iCloud - however he won't be able to do this on Leopard, though he can on an iOS5 device. (You must presumably have migrated from MobileMe to get it working). If he does this he will need to be on his own Mac or on a separate user account on yours to keep the emails separate.

  • I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

    I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

    If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases'  - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:

    If you want to keep her email separate from yours she will need to create a new Apple ID, and use it to create a new iCloud account either on a separate computer or on a separate User Account on your Mac.

  • I want to make a BT email address for my husband &...

    I want to make a BT email address for my husband & make BT his home page, while I keep Google Chrome as my home page.
    My ????  are how do i do it?

    You can set up an email address for your husband by following this guide.

    Unless you either use different web browsers, ie you use Chrome browser and your husband uses Internet Explorer or you both have different Windows users accounts on your computer you can not have different homepages as such.
    The work around would be to set your browser to open with two tabs, one being your homepage and the other being your husbands home page. I don't use Chrome so I am not sure exactly how you would do that but it would be similar to open your home page then in a seperate tab open your husbands then got to tools in the browser menu and find the setting "set as home page" and save it.

  • How can I add another family member to thunderbird and create a different email address for him?

    I need to have a separate email account for another member of the family so that messages specifically for that member go straight to him.

    The first thing you need to do is get a new email account from your ISP or from a third party such as Google (or many others). You could also look into https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-email-address
    Once you have the email account, you need to tell Thunderbird about it. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-account-configuration
    Let us know if you have problems.

  • Which free email program can I use to create a reserve email address for use with a Mozilla browser?

    Hello,
    Since it took over an hour to send an email from my gmail address the other night andsince I have tried unsuccessfully to create an @outlook.com address in Internet Explorer 8 I would like to use Mozilla to create a free reserve email address. Is it possible to do this in Mozilla instead of using Google Chrome or Internet Explorer 8? Thank you for helping a real dummie when it concerns creating a reserve email address.
    Kind regards,
    Edwin

    Enter yahoo.com in the address bar and then navigate from the Yahoo home page. You may want to bookmark the login or mail page, or make it your home page, for easier access.

  • Can i use more than one email address for one account

    I created one user account. I would like to create and use three separate email address for this one account, which will all show under one profile. Is that possible, and if so, is it free to do so? Thank you.

    You can add more identities to a single profile.
    Go to Tools -> Account Settings -> <your account> and click the Manage Identities button on the bottom right. That's the place where you can add additional e-mail addresses for your account.

  • I want to use a different email address for my iTunes account.

    My Apple ID is tied to my old email address at Comcast. I no longer have Comcast. I am told that I can't change this. If I create a new account using my me.com address how do I export/import all of my music and apps that were bought under the old ID? This sounds like it would be a pain

    This is the issue. They are telling you to get a specific email address.
    If this address is already taken, then what?

  • Can I create an email address for a family member using my apple ID?

    I converted to iCloud from Mobile Me in October before I created email addresses for my kids.  Can I create accounts for them in iCloud?

    Just go to http://appleid.apple.com and create a new Apple ID for each kid - note that you will need a different associated email address for each ID, and different from your own, but you can use free addresses such as Yahoo.
    Then start a new iCloud account for each using the IDs. You will need to have a separate user account on your Mac for each kid (you should be doing this anyway, and they should be non-admin accounts) and then you can enter the ID in System Preferences>iCloud and create a new @me.com address in each case.
    Alternatively you could create up to three email aliases on your own account - these are addresses, not accounts, and deliver into your main inbox alonside your mail, so everyone will be able to see everyone else's mail, which may well not be what you want.

  • How to create another email address for my Wife?

    I might be over thinking this but how do I create another email address for my wife? I can't find where to do that? I found the alias email but not just a regular email. Please help someone:)
    Thanks so much,
    Scott

    Hello Scott.
    If this is in reference to creating a .Mac email only account for your wife, you don't so this via the Mail program. This is done via webmail access for your .Mac account preferences.
    An .Mac account alias is free but an alias address cannot be accessed as a separate account because an alias isn't an account.
    A .Mac email only account cost $10 per year and can be accessed as separate account.

  • How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id?

    Hi there
    How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id? My original email address is associated with my previous employers.
    When I send email from my Macbook, it seems as if I still work there, which is a problem.
    I would like to use the email address that I created for my iPad.
    When I login with my appleid (for my macbook) I keep getting the old company one, not the new one.
    Is there any way of resolving this? I

  • I created an Apple ID for my daughter with her own gmail address, but I want her Apple ID and primary email address to be an iCloud email address. How can I do this? I can't set up an icould email address for her without first creating an Apple ID?

    I have created an Apple ID for my daughter with her own gmail address as the primary email address, but I want her Apple ID and primary email address to be an iCloud email address. How can I do this? I can't set up an icould email address for her without first creating an Apple ID right?
    I'm not good with computers so please explain in simple way...:)
    I also wonder what the best way is to set up accounts for children in a family. I dont want them to be able to purchase apps etc through the parents accounts, also some things we like to share as a family and others we don't want to share. Is there any good. clear, simple explanation from Apple Support about these issues? Or best to go to Apple store and go to genius bar or one to one advise?
    thanks

    You can set up an iCloud account which makes the iCloud email address you choose the Apple ID and thus the login for it:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/22283348#22283348
    though I have to say I think it's more sensible if the ID is another address, both for security reasons (so people don't know what the login is) and as a contact address from Apple if the account were to stop working and they needed to contact you. So personally I would to to System Preferences, enter the GMail address which is an ID, and then choose a nerw @icloud.com address.
    If she has her own iCloud account she will need either her own computer or her own user account on your Mac to be able to make use of it. You should note that under Apple's terms of use Apple IDs are only available to children of 13 and over.
    As to purchasing apps, this is nothing to do with iCloud: it's iTunes, and the login can be different. So you can all sign into the same iTunes account but have different iCloud accounts. Or she can have her own iTunes account if she is of suitable age (credit card needed for purchasing apps).
    If you have other children you should be aware that any one Mac or device can create only three iCloud accounts - this is tied to the serial number, not the user account, and once reached cannot be bypassed. You can of course sign into an iCloud account created on another device.
