Do I have to use my .mac email address?

I would like my topic subscriptions notifications to go to my gmail account instead. If this is actually possible, as i think, how do I change/add the email details. Right now only the .mac email is on the 'my settings' page and i can't see any way to alter that at all.

Hi Fred,
Welcome to the forum.
Of course it's possible. Simply go here:

I have been using my .mac email address for many years without a problem. Suddenly over the last few days the emails have been coming in sporadically. I know this becasue all the emails are coming in on my phone and on the laptop, not on iMac.

Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox.

HT5225 use a imac os x 10.4.11. I can't access my mail as of late yesterday. Is there a system problem or can I now longer use my .mac email address. I do not have any other device including a phone. thanks

I reset the password. As you instructed, but that was not enough to solve the problem.
To solve the problem I also did the following:
For my user name I included @me.com., but I'm not sure that made any difference.
I think the key to solving this was that I pushed past the error I got on the Outgoing Mail Server window. I wasn't sure I should do that but I was desperate:
Next I got this window and checked SSL.
That was it!
Finally I went into account preferences and checked the outgoing mail server settings to be sure the server port was correct. It was.
Thank you for your help.

I believe they discontinued all mobile.me accounts yesterday. It's been in the planning for a long time with lots of notification. I believe you can still get access to the e-mail from Tiger but you'd need to browse past discussions on this forum for details on how.

HT5622 .mac mail - I still use my .mac email address to access itunes, icloud, etc. Every once in a while, apple sends me confirmation, reservation, etc. emails to the .mac address. Can someone tell me how to access that email account?

Hi pjerl,
Depending on when you originally set up your Apple ID, you may have @mac.com, @me.com, and @icloud.com email addresses associated with your account, but all mail sent to those addresses should still come in to the same iCloud account (you can test this to make sure by sending yourself emails at those addresses). You may find the following articles helpful:

I can't set up my email account on my ipod touch. It keeps saying that I have to use a valid email address for this account

I can't set up my email on my ipod touch. It keeps saying I have to use a valid email address for this account. Help!

Hi Annie,
Make sure when you are setting up your e-mail account that you enter in your entire e-mail address. If you have a Yahoo (includes any e-mail account associated with Yahoo), G-mail, or Aol after entering in your password it should automatically set up. Any other e-mail address you will have to manually set the account up.

HT4899 I have NEVER used my icloud email address and am now getting spam mail to services I have NEVER signed up to. Should I conclude from this that Apple have sold my details on?

To tell me to mark it as spam is just not good enough. I do not want this rubbish cluttering my inbox.

Nobody want to receive spam, but it's a fact of life. Apple is certainly not selling your address on to spammers, and it's possible that the spammer has been guessing at possible addresses and has hit on yours.
A good third-party program for dealing with spam is SpamSieve - after a training period it's very good at identifying spam and shunting it to a Spam folder where you can check it and delete at your leisure. It works with iCloud.

How to get AIM to use my .mac iChat address

I use a few different accounts for IM (for personal and business), including the primary one that uses my .mac email address. I can set up the AIM ones to use AIM Mobile, but can't find a way to get AIM to recognize my .mac name for that purpose. When I try to login, it says that is a valid name, but when I ask to change the password the response is not sent to my .mac email address.
Apparently there is another user registered with the same name (minus the .mac suffix). Could AIM just be looking at the part before the .mac and assuming it's the same person? For all I know, I could have registered that name with AOL years ago, but if I did it is sending my password to an email account that I no longer use.

I am not aware that you can change the @Mac password anywhere but when logged into your account at @mac.com

I have a mac mini with a web cam/microphone and would like to be able to facetime with my families iPhones 4S/5 using wi-fi email address. I can't call the iPhones from the Mac Mini with Mountain Lion OS. What is wrong?

I am trying to include a Mac Mini with a webcam/microphone to call several family iPhones 4S/5 usisng email addresses vice phone numbers so that we can communicate from outside the US via iPhone to the US (Mac Mini) via wi-fi and email addresses. We are using the same email address for the Mac Mini as for Itunes and made new email addresses for each of the iPhones. I cannot receive calls from the iPhones but can call the iPhones from the Mac Mini. what needs to be corrected?
Thanks.
Steve

I have a .mac email address, can i use this as a regular email address?

I have a .mac email address which i set up for ichat (ages ago) how can i use this as a regular email address in an email client? Is there SMTP/POP details?

With the introduction of iCloud, Apple has discontinued its "@mac.com" addresses support and has switched to Users using "@me.com" suffixes. To utilize this you will need to setup an iCloud account with a new Apple ID. And Apple discontinued iChat and has switched to Messages.app, using Apple ID's.
Hope this helps

I have and android phone and I want to use my mac email account. I cannot get the account to load

I am using an Droid Razr M phone and want to put my mac email account back on it. When doing the set up I constantly get a message that the there is not a connection to the Server. I have followed all the instructions on how to do it but it consistanly will not let me set the account back up. I am using the correct email address and password.

Thank you so much for the help. I had to enter my complete email address using me.com added to my sign in name and then after I got to the next page to enter the settings, I changed the address to not include the me.com information. From there everything went through just fine. This ended about a week of frustration trying with many folks at the Verizon Store to help me. I'm so grateful for your help.

Do you perhaps have more than one Apple ID? If your response is "No," are you absolutely positive?

HT204268 I used an AOL name several years but have been using a .mac for at least three years. Do I need to do anything?

I used an AOL name several years but have been using a .mac for at least three years. Do I need to do anything?

If you are no longer using the Apple ID with your AOL User Name, and you do not have any purchases that you may want in future tied to that ID, you don't have to do anything. If you think you may ever want to access past purchases done on that ID, you need to change it to a valid email address.

HT204053 Specific: I have 2 .mac email accounts, one of them has a sub-address. Can I keep all 3 .mac email addresses in iCloud?

I have 2 .mac email accounts, one of them has a sub-address. Can I keep all 3 .mac email addresses in iCloud?

You will need to migrate each account seperately using the Move website, the alias will also be migrated to iCloud with whichever account it is under (the only problem with aliases, occurs when you have more than 3 in an account)
When you log into iCloud on the computer running Lion, iCloud will update your mail accounts for you, on the computers running Snow Leopard you will have to set up the mail accounts manually. Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
You won't be able to use your iCloud contacts and calendars on the computers running snow leopard with Address book and iCal, but can access them from the web interface at iCloud.com
