Do you have to join MobileMe to have e mail access?

Hi all-
I have a problem. First up, forgive me for being a bit stupid - but I'm not very computer savvy so this may be REALLY obvious to the rest of you.
My issue is this, I use my i-phone for e mail all the time; and when I first got the phone I signed up for a mobile me account as I seemed to have little choice and I wanted to be able to receive and send e mails and this seemed to be the only route. However, I don't use ANY of the other functions offered by mobile Me so I rather resent the annual subscription which I think is pretty steep and now my renewal is up, I'd rather not subscribe. But will I loose all e mail access?
When I had hotmail accounts they were free. Is it possible to keep my mac.com e mail address and get access, or will I have to go to another type of account and merge that with the phone?
Thanks for your help!

You do not require a MobileMe account.
iPhone will support any POP3 (Hotmail) or IMAP-based email account (Yahoo, Gmail etc.) You'll be better going for an IMAP-based email account because your iPhone will mirror the folders that are used when you logon to your account via the internet. POP3, such as Hotmail, will only show you your inbox, draft, sent and trash.
I don't have a MobileMe account, but I would expect if you cancel your subscription you will lose your old mac.com email address. Thus, you're better setting up a new web-based account now and change your mac.com email address to your new one for all the web-based services you've subscribed to, before it is closed!

    Please help me to solve this issue. I don't know if uploading the excel workbook is enough or maybe It needed to connect to another data source.
    I Appreciate in advance.

    Hi Ali.y,
    Based on the current error message, the error can be related to the
    Claims to Windows Token Service (C2WTS) and is an expected error under certain conditions. To verify the issue, please check the aspects below:
         1. The C2WTS Windows service and C2WTS SharePoint service are both running.
         2. Check the SQL Server Browser service is running on the machine that has the PowerPivot instance of SSAS.
         3. Check the domain. You're signing into SharePoint with a user account in some domain (call it Domain A).  When Domain A is equal to Domain B which SharePoint server itself is located (they're the same domain), or Domain
    A trusts Domain B.
    In addition, the error may be caused by Kerberos authentication issue due to missing SPN. In order to make the Kerberos authentication work, you need to configure the Analysis Services to run under a domain account, and register the SPNs for the Analysis
    Services server.
    To create the SPN for the Analysis Services server that is running under a domain account, run the following commands at a command prompt:
    • Setspn.exe -S MSOLAPSvc.3/Fully_Qualified_domainName OLAP_Service_Startup_Account
    Note: Fully_Qualified_domainName is a placeholder for the FQDN.
    • Setspn.exe -S MSOLAPSvc.3/serverHostName OLAP_Service_Startup_Account
    For more information, please see:
    How to configure SQL Reporting Services 2012 in SharePoint Server 2010 / 2013 for Kerberos authentication

    Hi j,
    I don't know if this will work, but I'd try logging in to an admin account, going to your main library (not user library), opening it, opening Application Support, selecting iPhoto, hold down the command key and press i, click on the lock in the lower left, entering the password and making sure you have Read & Write privileges for System and Admin.

    system goes to talktalk website as normal,click on my mail,then on login,and up comes message you have undefined mails in your inbox.normally the message would say ,you have X No of new mails.No matter what I try I cannot gain access to my messages.If i use internet explorer i get my messages no problem

    I found my own solution to this one after many more hours of frustration. I found that there was a toolbar applet installed in Internet Explorer that started its own private JVM, and that JVM was being seen by the plugin code for 1.3.1_07. Apparently there was some conflict between what the plugin code expected and what that private JVM (not sure what version it was, the code had no mention of it) had to offer, which caused the crash dialog. Uninstalling the toolbar (and its parent application) solved the problem. I may do further testing to see if there are any plugin versions that do work with this particular applet.
    It is also still a mystery why this problem only cropped up after installing and uninstalling 1.4.x version of the plugin, but I didn't keep close track of the whole sequence so it may have been coincidental.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Why no visual alert that you have new mail??

    It would be nice if you could get a visual alert that you have new mail, just as you get for Voicemail and Texts.

    I just spoke to a rep at Apple...they had me do a few things...first go into setting and then go to mail and then change fetch data from manually to 15 minutes, that did not work...what we did finally was to delete the mobile me account then take the airplane mode off for 20 seconds then put it back on then hit settings to general to reset to reset all settings...then we added the mobile me account back and it now notifies you when you have mail...I hope that helps....

  • MobileMe and Using POP mail access

    Hi guys and girls
    I currently use .Mac with Mail and have set up Mail to access .Mac email using the POP.
    I assume that MobileMe and it's push eMail feature is based on IMAP but it doesn't actually state what settings we need to use.
    Does anyone know? Should I set up my Mail.app to use the IMAP in readiness for MobileMe?
    Any help or guidance you can give would be greatly appreciated!

  • I don't have permission to access certain folders in my external hard drive?

    Every year at my college, we get our laptops re-imaged and completely wiped of all their data for new programs, etc. Prior doing this, I backed up all my files onto a WD external hard drive. This is not the first time I've gotten my macbook wiped or used the hard drive, so I am not sure why I'm experiencing problems this time around. In the hard drive I am able to access the Applications folder, but all the rest of the folders such as Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures, etc. which is located in the Users folder under my previous user acc, have a tiny no entry symbol on the bottom right corner. When I click on the folder it tells me "The folder "blahbalh" can't be opened because you don't have permission to see its contents."
    The only security the drive has on it is an initial prompt for a password that I enter once the hard drive is plugged into my mac. There are no problems there. So why don't I have permission to view certain folders?
    Any help would be appreciated. I have all my work on there. Thanks.

    First make sure you have read & write access to the folder you're trying to restore to. You should be able to see its contents in the Finder, and to move files in and out of it.
    This is an exception to the rule that you should never make any changes to backup data. I've tested this procedure in OS X 10.8 only. It should work with later versions, but I don't know whether it works in earlier versions. Use this procedure  only for files that were backed up from your home folder, or a folder on another volume created by you, and would normally be writable by you. Do not touch backups of system or application files.
    In the Finder (not in the time-travel view), navigate to the backup volume, then to the folder named "Backups.backupdb", and then to the snapshot you want to restore from. The snapshots are folders labeled with the date when they were created. Inside each of those folders is a file hierarchy like the one on the volume that was backed up. Descend through the hierarchy until you come to a folder named "Users," and inside that, a folder with your user name. The procedure will be different if you're trying to restore files on another volume.
    Select the folder and open the Info dialog (command-I). Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and authenticate. In the Sharing & Permissions section, give your account Read & Write access. You may have to close the dialog and repeat this step in order for the change to show up. Then click the gear icon and select Apply to Enclosed Items from the popup menu.
    Try the restore operation again, in the time-travel interface.

  • Why have my Mail rules decided to stop working?

    Emails are all going straight to my main inbox all of a sudden, rather than being filed away in their appropriate folders (per the Rules I've set up).
    I've not changed any settings and can't see why the rules suddenly have decided to go on holiday!
    Mail is being synched to my email host easymediasolutions/horde webmail which has never posed any problems...
    Any suggestions?
    p.s. When someone fills in my enquiry form on my website, for some reason it IS directed via the Rules for that email address, but this is the only way it happens.
    iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

    Hard to know what could be the problem without knowing how those rules are defined, but what type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP)? If IMAP, what are your Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Keep copies of messages for offline viewing settings?
    Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
    /Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/Mail/Bundles/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.
