Does .mac email address only work with MobileMe

My subscription to MobileMe has expired and I can no longer receive email at my .mac email address.
Does anyone know if you can still have a .mac email address without having to use mobileme.

You .mac email address is supplied by Apple via MobileMe. If you have chosen to not continue with MobileMe, you no longer have a .Mac email address.
If you wish to keep using Apple's email service, you must renew MobileMe.
If you don't, then you'll need to get another email address from some other provider like gmail, yahoo, your ISP, etc.

  • Mac email doesn't work with iCloud

    Since the move from mobileme email to iCloud I can only get email accounts working for a short period, and sometimes not at all on agiven day.
    What we had on mobileme was a family acount with 4 active email accounts.
    These all worked fine and all came in as seperate mailboxes to the mail client on the Mac. Nice and exactly what we wanted.
    Since iCliud these accounts all work fine on IOS devices where the account matches the appleID logged in on the account.
    Email on the Mac is different. I am often asked for the password for the individual accounts registered within email. Sometimes these passwords are accepted and I can send and receive email, sometimes they are not. Neither of these things sound right to me a) why only ask sometimes? b) if it works once why doesn't it always work.
    I have tried (over 20 times now - waiting for varying lengths of time up to several days) the following to find a solution:
    1. Finding a post on these support forums or elswhere that says it has the definitive way of getting the whole account thing sorted out. It does seem many people have had issues moving email to iCloud.
    2. Creating new accounts for the email addresses required following the instructions exactly and having someone else check that I am.
    3. Trying the account immediately (actually email just does this). Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't
    4. Waiting  and trying it later. Sometimes the account will work for a couple of days but eventually everything reverts to the asking for and rejecting/accepting the password.
    5. Going back to step 1
    Other iCloud services work fine e.g. Calendar synch.
    Any help gratefully received. This has been going on for months.

    I'm sure you migrated the primary MobileMe account to iCloud, but did you migrate each of the other email accounts as well.  Just migrating the primary account does not migrate the others.

  • Keeping Domain Name Email Address After Hosting With MobileMe

    Hi,
    I am looking for any advice with regard to my website, which I now host with MobileMe. Prior to the transfer I had a Domain specific email address, which I now can no longer use. I receive the emails, but when it comes to answering, I can only answer as my .Mac account name.
    Can anyone help, as my previous Domain holder wants about US$100/year to maintain this facility?
    Cheers,

    Whether you get e-mails from the type of [email protected] or not depends on your domain registrar.
    What you're paying now is also the hosting which is needed to have real mailboxes.
    Usually at domain registrars you get MailForwards which means that I send e-mails at [email protected] which forwards e-mails to another address like [email protected] and you can set [email protected] to be forwarded to another e-mail (if you want). So basically MailForwards aren't real e-mails themselves. You can also set *@yourdomain.com so all e-mails sent to no matter which e-mail @yourdomain.com gets sent to [email protected] (no matter what people put in front of the @yourdomain.com).
    The problem is that if you set up CNAME for your domain usually E-Mail gets broken. But there’s a trick to avoid that (pointed out to by Earl and originally posted by Seanomich on the Apple Discussion Forums). Mainly that’s it:
    1. www.yourdomain.com is different from yourdomain.com
    2. Domain registrars handle them as completely different
    3. The trick is to set up CNAME for www.yourdomain.com (as of Chapter 2 of this page)
    4. For yourdomain.com set up a WebForward instead (as of Chapter 1 of this page) pointing it to www.yourdomain.com
    5. Now yourdomain.com is free to be used for e-mails
    If your domain registrar doesn't provide this feature (MailForwards without having to pay the hosting) you could manage your domain using ZoneEdit (which is free) and you will get MailForward e-mails.
    You will then also be able to send e-mails from [email protected]. All you need to do is write [email protected] in the Preferences of the Mail application where it says E-mail (same on the iPhone). In addition to that if you use a gmail address as real address behind the [email protected] MailForward you will also be able to send e-mails from the web as [email protected] since it allows to apply aliases.
    Bottom line: you can have e-mails like you want
    If MailForward isn’t enough for you, you probably need a hosting package (other than MobileMe) along with your domain and that's where you have to pay the 100$ a year...

  • Email notification only working with mailto:

    I've found that the mail notification is working, but the only way to get it working is to use the prefix 'mailto:' when specifying the email address to send the notification to.

    I am experiencing the same issue. I logged a support incident with Apple; the tech I spoke to added an Exchange acocunt to his iPhone and had the same problem - no "push". He promised to get back to me tomorrow with hopefully a solution. I will keep you posted.

  • Merge Email Address Only Group With Matching Names And Emails Group

    Here's the situation:
    I have a large list of conacts that are only email addresses and are in a group called Emails Only.  I decided to upload the email address to LinkedIn and connect with the people that were in my email list to obtain their full name if they were on LinkedIn. Then, after I connected with a bunch of people, I exported my whole LinkedIn contacts back into my address book in a group I made called LinkedIn.
    I then tried to merge my contacts. For some reason the LinkedIn group won't merge with the Email Only group.  Shouldn't my address book realize there are multiple contacts with the same email address? Is it an issue that the Email Only list just has emails and no names?
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hi Navgup,
    Please refer to the script below, to query users in other domain by specifying the parameter "-Server" in the cmdlet "get-aduser", and also note I haven't tested the script below:
    import-module activedirectory
    get-adgroupmember "group"|foreach{
    $email=(get-aduser $_.samaccountname -properties *).EmailAddress#get the user email
    Get-ADUser -filter {EmailAddress -eq $email} -properties * -server DomainB.company.com|select samaccountname, memberof}#filter user name and group with the email in other domain
    To get users across domain, please also refer this blog:
    Adding/removing members from another forest or domain to groups in Active Directory:

    I hope this helps.

  • Why does this email address not work

    Hi
    i have posted the question a couple of times in a different format, but have not received an answer....
    Why wont the ipad email system allow the following format address:
           [email protected]
    It works in outlook, but not on the iPad.
    I get the message invalid address or password.
    I am hoping that someone knows how to make it work...
    Cheers

    I think the format is yourdomain.com.test-google-a.com. Your example is missing the .com part of your domain. So your example should look like [email protected] where mydomain = name.com

  • Why does yahoo and hotmail email address not work with JavaMail

    I am sending an email like this if [email protected]= [email protected] it doesnt work... but works if it is someone on the same domain
    theMessage.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress("[email protected]"));

    Suzie,
    Could you be a little more specific in your question? Are you developing an ADF/JSF application? a Web Service? EJB? Is it a plan Java App?
    There are more chances for your question to have a more proper response if posted in the right place :)

  • How does 1Web Personal Domain really work with MobileMe?

    I'm reading the steps of iMap and the author says "If you domain forward or mask to your .Mac (MobileMe) address, please always use the .Mac (MobileMe) address and not your own domain!" It seems to me that anyone who registers a personal domain name must domain forward or mask. If these instructions are correct, how would one's own domain name ever appear?

    It seems to me that anyone who registers a personal domain name must domain forward or mask.
    That's not correct. iWeb's personal domain feature is designed to use CNAME pointing.

  • 1.83 Mac Mini wireless only works with case off

    Hey guys,
    I had to replace the HD in my mac mini and i tested it with the case off, the wifi was full bars! then i put the case on and the wifi just cuts off, take off the case, it works perfectly, put it back on instantly chops the wifi power down.
    ANy ideas? I usually always have it plugged in via eth cable but dont want the wireless broken.
    Btw its running 10.6.1

    Did the wifi work any better with the case on BEFORE you replaced the HD?
    It could be the re-assembled Mini's wifi is just acting "normal" - and that operating it case-less allows the wifi to be more powerful than designed.
    IMHO the wifi in the Mini is the weakest in the Apple lineup - an quite susceptible to changes in strength due to orientation of the Mini and objects near it.

  • Does Mighty Mouse only work with desktop Macs??

    I just bought an Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse, assuming it'd work with my new Leopard OS X Macbook. I followed the instructions on the Mighty Mouse booklet...but no installation start-up window ever appeared. I'm a beginner with Apple, so I figure I've done something wrong....does the Mighty Mouse only work with desktop Macs and not MacBooks?
    Please help if you can.

    Ah! sorry, my mistake! "wireless" was the key word. And yes, prior to my new mighty mouse, I also used the wireless one. And you need to do the following:
    1) Turn bluetooth ON (either from finder icon (you can have it placed on your finder bar by tick box in sytem preferences/bluetooth.
    2) Then, you need to "pair" your mouse via bluetooth setup assistant.
    3) once "paired" off you go.

  • Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac. Tried every settings, My iCloud only works with Mail.app

    Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac or any other Mac. My iCloud will only work with Mail.app. All the clients I tried work perfectly well as long as I sign in with somebody else's iCloud account. But mine won't work no matter the client (Postbox, Unibox, Airmail...) and no matter the computer.
    I can access my account on iCloud.com, but I can't use email clients without getting error messages prompting me to check my password or login.
    I was able to use those clients in the past but a couple of months ago I got logged out of Airmail and the issue started just like that!
    I tried every possible mail server settings including the following:
    IMAP information for the incoming mail server
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
    Port: 993
    Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not [email protected])
    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
    Port: 587
    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker)
    Password: Your iCloud password

    Those are the correct settings, and they work with any email client that supports Imap.
    Try again.

    Does ipod touch only work with wi-fi? Can I download games through home mac?

    iPod touch is Wi-Fi only, yes. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by games from home Mac, but you can purchase game apps in iTunes and sync them to your iPod.
